Forestry cleanup work along South Side road

FORESTRY: 2 hours: 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM

Thinning, pruning and general cleanup along South Side road in South Side unit #4.

Forestry work in the south side of unit #4. General clean-up work: thinning out small dead spars and bent-over live trees, blowdown slashing and stob pruning. Worked the area around the first and second road junctions in the middle of the south side, in the un-harvested zones where there are a lot of smaller trees with jack-strawed and bent-over remnants of the 2007 windstorm. Carpet-bombing style woody debris all over the mostly bare forest floor. Only a few trees and brush are starting to move into the understory, now with light coming in from the adjacent harvested zones.
