Supervisors Training for Forest Aid, an effort to reforest burned areas of SBNF

[Materdaddy]

Thank you Russ, Nick and Barb! Very good information. I hope to make at least one or two days. I wish it wasn't such a drive for us, although because of the organization of this event, we'll be taking the car so the drive is more comfortable.

[COLOR="Sienna"]Thank you Russ!

I will get those sign-up rosters generated, and posts, as we discussed at Lytle Creek. Right now however, I have to get to work!

Pictures of the training:

This is why you'll want to wear hard soled shoes.


Easy there little fella...

Planting to the proper depth.


Ta-Daa!!


Lastly, protect the root collar by shading it.

Okay, now I'm off to make those posts and sign up sheets. [/COLOR]

Just got back from the Sunday class. Good MJR representation with Roger, Kurt, Doug, Ryan, Kathy, Alycia, and Myself. This is going to be quite the project. http://www.treepeople.org/ is planning on planting 32,000 seedlings in the forest. As Russ mentioned we all should try to get as many MJR members to help in these efforts. Although most of the work this year will be in the Lake Arrowhead area David did say that there is a plan to plant seedlings near Fawnskin which I hope will be in the Hanna Flats area which is near our trail. Time to give back.

I realized last night I forgot to put you in there. I don't know how I could forget the class clown. Sorry Roger.

:oops:

Was Roger stirring up trouble again?

[Roger]

What? Me stir up trouble?

Chuck,

I was thinking that you were pretty worn out and just forgot, but I couldn't just let it go without giving you a bad time!!

Mitch,

Me?? Stirring up trouble??? How could you say such a thing?? I did learn something though, Die-hard tree huggers have no sense of humor. They remind me of religous fanatics....

Wow, how neat! I'm collecting hours from the other thread for the Ang-report.

Not much to add other than it was a great class and some Sunday pics.

[COLOR="Sienna"]LOL...how many of you almost stepped on the trees we planted the day before? I almost stepped on one they had planted on Friday. Barb caught me though.[/COLOR]

Glad to see Kurt looks as bad off in classes other than mine (I thought it was me)

Most of us almost stepped on the saplings. It took a real effort to watch your step.

I do have these hours for you, Nick and Doug already. But if you want to officially submit hours in the future it's going to have to go into the AAT forum. Thanks you
