Support our local Boy Scout's by purchasing bags of mulch during the 2017 Mulch Sale.
Community Chipping
Our community conducts ongoing preventative maintenance during the year to help reduce the fuel for wildfires. Please continue to place any brush, branches or logs (6" diameter or smaller) near the side of the road for future chipping. Do not place them in the ditches or on the road.
Please keep track and record the number of hours it takes to gather these items as your hard work counts towards our Firewise grant as "in-kind" hours. Forward this information to the Board and contact us with any questions.
