Chainsaws

I FOUND OUT MY FIRST SPIKE PROJECT!!!!

fun fact: the term "Spike" comes from the CCC (FDR)and refers to the spike used to secure tents to locations.

ANYWAYS....my team, Silver 3, will be doing fuel reduction and fire management in Nevada County and Lake Tahoe National forest. We will be staying in Grass Valley, CA but traveling around the region, clearing brush, trees, invasive species, doing prescribed pile burns, etc. Essentially, we are trying to prevent wildfires specifically in the homes and properties of the elderly and disabled.

For this job, whoever wants to will be chainsaw certified! I am quite excited to have the training and be working in the forest in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada mountain range for the next five weeks. We leave November 3 after our initiation.

Thanks for feeding the fish and for following this journey! I apologize for not posting often, the internet is worse here than in South Africa!
peace and love
