As we wrap up August, we are looking back on all the great events and hard work our team has put in.
From speaking with the Community about Pine Beetles and Fire Mitigation to Aerial Safety Training for the team, August was an eventful month.
Owner, Mike Earl presented a talk about Fire Mitigation with Eagle Valley Land Trust. The group was highly engaged and we had wonderful discussions about what you can do as a homeowner to harden your home.
Certified Arborist, Bret Pilkington led a walk and talk with Eagle Valley Land Trust on Pine Beetles, fungis and other pests. This was a great group on a beautiful day in Minturn.
The crews came together in Gypsum to learn Aerial Rescue. The safety of our crews is our top priority and we are so grateful to have access to this kind of training.
Mike walks a property to talk through practical ways homeowners can help harden their homes to wildfire.the group also was able to view some of the larger scale fire mitigation our forestry division completed on the opposing vistas.
Bret was able to give home owners the basics of how trees can divert nutrients during stressful periods.
Bret shows the group how beetles move through bark. The bark and gallery types help arborist identify which pest is attacking that tree.
Our crew watch as others practice rescuing team members from trees.
