On Saturday over 60 people took part in the Cranbrook Community Forest Work Bee Eco-Restoration Project. A wide cross section of our community came out and participated including the Scouts and Girl Guides. Historically the forest has been much less heavily forested than it is presently. To keep the larger trees healthy some of the smaller trees must be removed. With the help of bush saws over 1 hectare of land was worked. Once the trees were cut down they had to be moved to the roadside so that they could be chipped. The chips were then spread onto pathways. There is still more chipping work to be done and this will be completed in October. The project was very successful and will be part of an ongoing effort to keep the Cranbrook Community Forest healthy for future users. Thanks to all the volunteers and organizers including the Cranbrook Community Forest Society, the Ministry of Forests and the Rocky Mountain Trench Society.
