Volunteer Event - Forest Health - Thinning and Wood Chipping - 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 feed the wood chipper.
Things to bring:
-Discover Pass (we can supply you with one for the event)
-Gloves
-Eye and Ear Protection (we have some to share)
-Warm Layers
-Minors only (note from guardian giving permission to attend the event)
