Big Meadow Weekend
Sequoia National Forest
June 22 - 25, 2006
 

 

 

 

   

     After a wonderful breakfast it is time to
    brief the volunteers on the days activities.

   

 

 

 

 

    At the trailhead, Dave Robinson discusses the Job
    Hazard Analysis (JHA) with his crew.

 

 

 

 

 

    Tom Williams and Barbara Wingfield prepare
    to tackle this monster.  The tree was lying
    along the trail and took nine cuts to remove
    it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Tom is able to use the chainsaw because
    this tree fell outside the wilderness boundary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Wow!  An awesome job! 

 

 

   

 

 

 

    Laurel is using a crosscut saw to take
    out this tree.  She makes it look easy.

 

 

   

 

 

 

    Abby, Laurel's daughter, and Mark underbucking
   to complete an offset cut on this tree. Abby is
   fourteen.  Can you believe it!

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

    Steve and Dave evaluating how to approach
    the removal of this tree.

 
 

 

 

    All done!

   

 

 

 

 

    Jeff debarking a tree with an ax.  A necessary
   step before using a crosscut.

 

 
 

 

 

 

   This is what I call teamwork!
