Big Work Starts Tomorrow


Large Trees Throughout the Eucalyptus Hill Project
In addition to the ground work treatment that is accomplished through our projects, on many occasions, work will also require us to thin out, limb up and treat larger stands of mature trees. The Eucalyptus Hill Road project is a great example of a project area that has a dense stand of very tall, mature trees that have not been maintained. These Eucalyptus, Pittosporum and Palm trees are all invasive, contribute significantly to the overall fuel load in the area, create ladder fuels and limit the growth of more fire resistant native vegetation.

Over the next few week we will have a crew working through our project area to reduce the overall density of these larger Eucalyptus trees in the area.
