[Volunteers_fosm] Project to buck, split, and haul large Balsam Glade PA log, Wed., July 10

[DAN BENTON via Volunteers_fosm]

 Hello Everyone,


On Wednesday, July 10, FOSM volunteers will buck, split, and haul the remainder of the large (29-inch) log in Balsam Glade PA. We will be using the large chain saws -- Stihl 660, Stihl 460, and Husqvarna 372-XP with bars from 24 inches to 36 inches. (If we finish in BG early, there is a 27-inch log in Capulin PA that we can begin processing.)

The wood will be hauled in a USFS truck to the donation pile near the hazmat building behind the Ranger Station.

Meet at 8:00 AM at the FOSM Guard Station behind the Sandia District Ranger Station.

Wear long pants, long sleeve shirts, and sturdy boots with slip-resistant soles. Bring work gloves and hard hats. If you do not have a hard hat, one will be provided. Sawyers are required to also wear 8-inch high boots and chaps. Bring eye and ear protection. Swampers working near saws are also required to wear chaps. Bring lunch, snacks, and drinks.

Please park in the north front parking lot in front of the Ranger Station so that there will be more parking space for SRD seasonal employees and fire fighters near the FOSM Guard Station. We will have the JHA in the front parking lot.

If you have questions, please email me at samgbeard at msn.com.
