Volunteer Event - Centennial Trail - Forest Health (Thinning)

There are currently no future events scheduled.
Happy Earth Day!

Join us to improve young stands of Ponderosa Pine and Doug Fir through reducing overcrowded stands. Giving trees proper spacing allows them to grow with health and vigor instead of competing with one another for space, light, and water. We will use handsaws and loppers to remove trees and lay them alongside the trail to prepare for the woodchipper to make a pass through at a later date.

We will meet at Wilbur Trailhead and walk or shuttle to the thinning site (about 1/4-1/2 mile from the trailhead).

Things to bring:

-Discover Pass (we can issue a day pass)

-Gloves

-Eye Protection (we have some to share) 

-Handsaws/Loppers (we have plenty, but you are welcome to bring your own) 

-Long pants and closed toe shoes 

-Bike (Optional - to ride to the thinning site from the trailhead)
