The hills are alive...

The forest around Calvin Crest is getting logged and brushed out which will make it healthy again and not a timberbox. As the picture above shows the forest is overgrown and not very healthy. Some were saying that it won't look the same, but it will look healthy, which is better. We are seeing some change already in some of the areas where the responsible logging is taking place. It feels like there is more air in the forest which will bring more wildlife and less wildfires. I will do a compare photograph when they get to that area. It is a two year endeavor.

Have you hired a crew to do this or this being done by staff members?

that's very exciting. i go to a school where forestry is the main degree and i've learned a lot about how important selective cutting and clear cutting can be. it's good to see it happening up there.
