Projects for April 8th, 2023

 Crew Leaders

There were be a significant number of volunteers this CFD, and need to have experienced volunteers take the lead and guide a couple of crews. We will be focusing on invasive weed removal and a few other projects so flexibility is the key.

  • Seedling Tubing in Reforestation Area

There are still remaining western red cedar that need vexar tubing in the reforestation unit.

  • Invasive Weed Removal

Time to get down to the wetlands and remove the blackberry, and if enough folks the takedown of the scotch broom in the regeneration unit.

  • Milling of Dimensional Lumber and so much more…

Using our Wood-Mizer LT-15 sawmill we will be milling dimensional lumber from material salvaged from the windstorms (different process than the cedar siding we have made over the past year).

LEARN BY DOING—IT’S THE HOPKINS WAY WE MANAGE OUR FOREST!
