There have been fallen trees partially blocking the fire lanes for the past couple of years.
I did some work but had decided to let George do it. instead of me.
It seems George died, Meanwhile, I received a small battery-power chainsaw for Christmas that is able to sever tree branches, but not tree trunks.
I decided to go out today to see what I could do to improve the situation.
I was able to trim four of the deadfalls, which will make it easier for FWC staff to check out the area as needed.
I also found two more seedlings today in the now protected path adjacent to the first planting area.
The lupines in the third planting area are in full bloom, but need space to spread seeds. That will be a project for another day.
