Brush chipping June 13

The continued lack of rain this winter has significantly increased the fire danger in our mountain communities.  It is the time of year to prepare for wildfire season and create defensible space around your home. Not only does this help protect your home in the case of a wildland fire, it also helps protect our community as a whole.

Our next Brush Chipping Day is June 13 at the Pavilion parking lot, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Drive-up only; please do not leave piles.
