[Volunteers_fosm] FOSM Project Felling hazard trees, Wed., 4-3-19

[DAN BENTON via Volunteers_fosm]

Hello Wednesday Volunteers,
 
On Wednesday, April 3, FOSM volunteers will be felling hazard trees in Doc Long and Cienega Canyon Picnic Areas.
 
Kerry Wood, SRD Trails and Wilderness Program Manager, selected and marked with pink flagging 5 trees in Doc Long PA with the maximum diameter being 15 inches. He selected 6 trees in Cienega Canyon PA with the maximum diameter being 23 inches. Yesterday, I found all the marked trees in Doc Long PA and all but one in Cienega PA. We will be felling these trees with chain saws. In order to fell the 11 marked trees safely, we will be felling a few additional trees adjacent to the marked trees. Remember to bring copies of the attached tree maps, your diameter measuring tapes, and plumb bobs.
 
Meet at 8:30 am at the FOSM Guard Station behind the Sandia Ranger Station.
 
Dress warmly and bring work gloves, lunch, snacks, drinks, hard hats and eye and ear protection. Wear long pants, long-sleeve shirts, and sturdy boots with slip-resistant soles. Sawyers must wear chaps and 8-inch high leather boots. Anyone working near the sawyers must also wear protective chaps.
 
To help us with planning, email me at samgbeard at msn.com if you plan to work on this project.
 
Sam Beard, Projects Chair
