Riverside - Volunteer Event - Forest Health - Thinning

-
Come join us at the Trautman Conservation Area in Nine Mile Falls to continue thinning overcrowded Ponderosa Pine & Doug Fir Stands. Removing smaller trees will allow more space and nutrients for the mature trees to grow larger. We will be using handsaws and loppers, then dragging the trees to the trail to prepare for the woodchipper to come through later this Spring.

What to bring: 

-Discover Pass (we can supply one for the event)

-Gloves and Eye Protection (we have some to share)

-Warm Layers

-Minors only: Note from guardian granting permission to attend the event

Riverside - Volunteer Event - Forest Health - Thinning

Come join us near Bowl & Pitcher to thin a stand of overcrowded trees along Trail 211 (handsaws/loppers). Removing some trees will allow mature trees to grow larger, helps more light reach the forest floor to support understory vegetation, and reduces the fuel load in the event of a fire.
