Phase 1 of Fuel Break Work is Moving Right Along

March 25, 2016 at 9:19 am0 comments

The crew from Hope’s Tree Service was working on Olo Win Trail and Nuke Trail yesterday when I caught up with them.

Project Map, Sugar Pine Mi Wuk road clearance — Project Map, Sugar Pine Mi Wuk fuel reduction plan. Check out Priority IV, the green line, in the legend in the upper right corner above and then look at the map, you’ll see that the crew is on the last bits of Priority IV. They’re working on the green lined streets now.

That means that the larger vegetation has been removed: tree branches, manazanita, larger shrubs within 10 feet from the road on the ground level or 15 feet up, as in tree branches in most areas of Sugar Pine and Mi Wuk. I’ll get an updated map as soon as possible to show where the Phase I work has been completed.

Here’s some of the Nuka Trail activity yesterday (24th of March):

Nuka Trail fuel reduction work — Chipper truck (recycled garbage truck!) coming down the road to pick up the debris the crew has already cut down.

Time for a well deserved break for the crew

Grant's 'pillow' — Grant’s ‘pillow’

Crew has to pull all cut debris to the chipper

This load of chippiings is almost to the top — This load of chippings is almost to the top

Thanks to Cal Fire Grant and Hope's Tree Service — Say hello to Hope.

HOW MANY POUNDS OF CHIPPINGS DOES THE TRUCK DELIVER TO THE RECYCLER EVERY DAY OR TWO? Leave your guesses in the comment area and I’ll have the answer for you tomorrow. My husband gave a way wrong answer. Crew boss and co-owner of Hope’s Tree Service, Bob, told me before I took a guess. I think you’ll be surprised.

My husband Russ and I have been full time Mi Wuk residents since 2003 and part time residents since 1987. Reality says that it's time to move on though and we'll be moving to Boise, Idaho at the end of 2019. I've been on the MAHA board for 'a long time' and am happy to be there so I can know what's going on in our community. I've also been on the MWSP Fire Protection District Fire Board since 2016 (or was it 2015?). You can always reach me at blythek@mac.com .
