Document Description
Carnelian Creek is a project that will reduce and remove brush and small trees, and dead and dying trees on a 6 acre site that is in the center of the Carnelian Woods Townhome Association with residential dwellings in close proximity. The site is gently sloping land covered primarily with Lodgepole pine, white fir, Jeffery Pine and Manzanita. This project involves all hand operations. The hand crews will cut brush, drag it to an access road on either the west or east sides of the project area and chip it back onto the site. 75% of the existing brush will be cut and removed.

Cut brush will retain its root structure and re-sprout to reduce erosion.
