Trautman Work Party

Volunteer Event - Forest Health - Thinning and Fence Removal - Riverside State Park

There are currently no future events scheduled.
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.

There are also some old barb wire fences on the property that should be removed with use of T-post pullers, and fencing pliers!

Things to bring: 

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

-Gloves (leather if handling barb wire)

-Eye Protection (we have some to share)

-Warm Layers

-Minors only (note from guardian giving permission to attend the event)
