The area was heavily wooded and overgrown with brush, weeds and fallen leaves. The project took seven volunteers and two bulldozers to complete, as well as the chainsaws, leaf blowers and other equipment purchased with their mitigation grant. All debris was burned in a safe area under the supervision of firefighters. |
