Forestry work along the Western Edge

FORESTRY: 1.5 hours: 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM

Thinning and pruning in the established forest near the creek in RMZ unit #3 and South Side unit #4.

Forestry portion of west edge trail creation south of Clearwater Creek. Thinning and pruning in the established forest along the western property boundary just south of the tidal portion of Clearwater Creek. Focused on the open-understory area adjoining the creek (where the boundary line trees were marked with paint), and especially the mini-knoll with the two old-growth spruces. Thinned out the dead and spindly suppressed stems, pruned up as high as possible; cut up and piled obstructing logs and tree tops on the ground to create an accessible, more park-like setting around these impressive specimens.
