Gents:
I've got a "service project" that needs some help. The Boy Scouts of America have a summer camp in the High Uinta Mountains. The Mountain Pine Beetle has killed 40% of the trees. The camp has an urgent need for some serious tree felling. The dead trees are around the "Klondike" cabins, roads and camp sites. The US Forest Service has been after the BSA to take care of the trees ASAP. The problem, is that the BSA needs volunteers to do this work.
The camp closes on August 12 and all the staff and scouts head home. My plan is to organize a couple of outings where we can cut with no people or equipment to hinder our efforts. My plan is to do a weekend -- either Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun in the next few weeks. Perhaps August 18/19 -- August 25/26 -- or September 8/9.
I need help with experienced fallers with big saws that are willing to do a little pro bono work. The site is approximately 75 miles from Salt Lake City. So far, I've got only one experienced faller that has committed. I've got several rookies that can handle the smaller trees, but I need help with the 28" to 40" trees. There is little or no limbing or bucking. This is just "cut and run". Literally hundreds of trees need to be felled to make the camp safe.
If you can help, please send me a text with your info and availability. 281-732-4233
