| Before and After Pics |

| August 2008 PLAN AHEAD!!!!!!! It comes every summer; hot, dry, windy conditions that are the perfect mix for wildland fires. Don't wait for smoke to be in the air to contact us, wild fire season comes every summer and you and your home should be prepared! You must be very careful working in these conditions! Power Equipment such as chainsaws, weedeaters, and lawn mowers can ignite this grass instantly! |






| Before thinning project. This 10 acre project consisted of removing all junipers and cedars, limbing up trees, and thinning out the Ponderossa trees to a more natural stocking rate. Approximately 4000 trees were removed! |
| Pile Burning during our thinning project. Piling and burning in the right conditions mimic's mother natures way of cleaning out the forest. This will encourage healthy growth of the remaining trees, increase grass production, and improve wildlife habitat. |






| Brush and tree removal (fuel reduction) works! This home survived the FORD fire summer 2007. Do you think it would have had a chance if this defensible space had not been created? |
