Howdy Neighbors!
Here’s the plan for this coming Saturday’s mitigation day: We’ll meet at the corner of Evans & Fallon Roads at 8:30am, with the intent to work until 12:30. We’ll forgo the chipper this time around, instead focusing on cutting and stacking. We’ll tackle three areas, in this order, based upon how many workers we get:
- Hand trimming along Fallon Rd. Bring hand clippers! This is where most of us will work. The stuff there is too thin to use a chainsaw, but seems too big to mow.
- We’ll put one crew (1 sawyer + 2 swampers) with Walt back in his gully. Walt has done a ton of great work in there already, but the east end of the gully could use help. That crew will work under his direction, since it’s his place.
- If we still have enough people, then one or two saw crews on the east side of Mt Herman Lane, just short of the north end, clearing the right-of-way. Probably just 90 mins to get this area done.
So regardless of whether you’re working #1, 2, or 3 – please meet at Fallon & Evans, at 0830. We’ll dispatch from there, and probably adjust a bit from the above plans.
We hope to do a day focused on chipping sometime soon (end of June?); this way everyone has some time to drag stuff out to the road or other easy-to-reach areas.
Also: we could use a photographer, as we’ve done in the past, to document the activity. A good cellphone camera is fine.
Thanx, see y’all Saturday!
