Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY

I have signed on to do the administration of another rehabilitation contract. This one is for three separate fires on two National Forests. There are five different seed mixes that will be flown onto the fires and a lot of straw mulch will be flown onto parts of two of them. These types of projects are done to slow down erosion on the burned area and to speed up the recovery of the vegetation. When these treatments are done the recovery is cut back from five to seven years to two or three years.
134.11 TONS OF STRAW---JUST A BIT LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THIS PARTICULAR SITE.




THE VIEW FROM MY OFFICE TODAY.
I LOVE DOING THESE PROJECTS!!!!!
