This weekend's project was another elk exclosure fence around an aging aspen grove. 4-5 of us went up Friday and set the corner posts, the main crew arrived Saturday and we finished Sunday before noon.
The over-population of elk are wrecking havoc on the aspen, or that's the theory anyway. So several groves--"clones" the forestry major calls them--are being fenced to let the quakies get a better foothold. Besides eating the sprouts, the bulls tear them up rubbing velvet off their antlers, I saw several spots where the bark is rubbed off.
As always, VOAz organized well, the food was great, FS sprung for pizza Saturday evening, omlets and strawberry shortcake Sunday AM. Getting the corner posts up the day before the main crew arrived really speeded the work along. Those corners aren't much to look at but they are well set and very sturdy. See gallery.
Spending a weekend out of the city, in the cool, doing real visible work was a real joy. Hart Prairie next weekend! _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |

Nice work Shawn, I need to take a look at their schedule for late in the year. Would like to give back once in a while. Did you put up pictures from it, I may have just missed the album in the gallery.

There are a few pics, but I'll post the link to the website when they put the report and pics up. _________________ The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see. |
