The Cranbrook Community Forest Society (CCFS) held its second EcoSystem Restoration Project of the year on Saturday, September 24. Approximately 50 volunteers came out to thin the forest as part of ongoing efforts to restore grasslands and for fire suppression purposes. Small trees are cut down by brush saws and then the trees are dragged to the edge of the road where they are then chipped. A BBQ was held at noon for all the volunteers. Thanks go out to all the volunteers, the Ministry of Forests and the Rocky Mountain Trench Society for all their assistance in putting on a successful event. The CCFS will be holding several events annually to help preserve this special place. Look for the next event in June 2012.
