Hello Volunteers, We are keeping a close eye on the wind forecast for this Tuesday. Assuming the current 20 mph gusts stay in the forecast we will be working in the Curtz Lake area. We will meet at 8:00 am at the Curtz Lake parking lot. If you have a battery powered string weed wacker please…

Hi Volunteers, We had so much fun up Thornburg Canyon Trail today that we’re heading back this Tuesday, June 2nd. We found more trees down in the Wilderness than we expected, so we are sending a crew 2-3 miles in with hand saws and McLeods to take out a couple dozen trees, and grasses and weeds that are…

Hello Volunteers, It’s looking like a serious wind storm Tuesday, tomorrow, with gusts up to 40 mph right from the start. Probably higher at Indian Creek and Curtz Lake.

This coming Tuesday the 26th we will be having a 9-12 workday. It looks to be sunny and cool, but breezy, so the location is still to be determined. Locations being considered. Low wind = tree removal on Thornburg Canyon Trail. Breezy = grass and weed removal in the Indian Creek Recreation Area. Either way,…

In questionable weather we will…
