Title

BLAINE WETLAND SANCTUARY UPDATE

 

Background

The restoration work in the BWS will be continuing as outlined below:

 

•                     The contractor, AES will be finishing required restoration activities which include winter mowing, winter raking/scarification, and herbicide applications in mid-March.

•                     Additional tree removal will also need to be done but will not be scheduled until next winter.

•                     Next fall, a meeting will be scheduled with you to inform you of the timeline to finish the tree removals in the “restoration needed area”.

•                     AES plans to use a bobcat and brush mower but may need to bring in other equipment but will not know until they start the work. 

•                     The trails will be closed during this time.  Signs and barricades will be installed at the trail heads.
