Thanks to the crew from Millar Tree Care, 300 cubic yards of forest fuels were picked up from village roads Tuesday and chipped. That is the equivalent of about 30 dump truck loads that won’t be going to the burn pile. BMR was happy to take the resulting 30 cubic yards of chips for their ongoing trail work.
The original plan for the “free pick-up” was to give owners
one weekend after the July 1st holiday to get their fuels on the
road. On July 11th, the volume on the roads to be chipped was photographed and estimated
to take less than one day. In the 8 days since then, many more property owners
have been adding material to the road, some even piling on the road after
the chipper had already done their area. It is encouraging to see so many
property owners doing FireSmart work on their properties.
Please don’t add any more to the road, as I have been told there
is some urgency to grade the village roads while YRB is in the area doing some
long overdue grading on the Baldy Road.

Is chipper coming back? At 245 Porcupine they took away about 2/3 and left the rest? Any reason for that?
Chipper is not coming back. The Strata Council only approved one 8 hour day for chipping, and there has been a lot of material added to the road since that plan was put in place. The decision has been made to haul the remaining debris to the burn pile in the next few days, rather than hire the chipper for another day next week.
