Before and After

Due to the large amounts of photography taken on our recent project it has taken me some time to go through all of the pictures. Pictures are a great way to showcase what it is that is accomplished through our projects and I can't wait to highlight some of that work here on this blog for you. With that said, I am going to be posting some quick before and afters here on the blog from time to time.

Here is some work that was recently done along Mountain Drive.

Chipping for Lower Riviera Starts March 5

Get ready, here we come! Our first chip area starts March 5th. Property owners can begin to set out brush for us to chip as long as it doesn't interfere with through traffic. If it put out according to our instructions we will take as much as you can give us.

We are all working towards making our community more fire safe!

Who Does The Work?

We often get asked who does the work on our projects. Is it the City? Firefighters? Hand crews? Contracted Crews?

The work on all of our current projects is contracted with private, local companies. From time to time, however, we have been known to utilize the Cal Fire Youth Authority Hand crews out of the Ventura Camp on a few of our early projects.

Here is a breakdown of which crews are on our projects:
     • Hillcrest Road Vegetation Management Project
           Wilson Environmental Landscape Design.
               **Project was sub-contracted to Branch Out Tree Care
     • Las Tunas/Mountain Drive Vegetation Management Project
            Terry Peterson Enterprises
     • Vegetation Road Clearance
            Peterson Tree Care
     • Defensible Space Chipping
            Terry Peterson Enterprises

We are fortunate to have great crews who are all very hard working. They strive to provide the property owners of the district with the most professional work possible.
