Document Description: A Park resource management project. Currently the issue is a rapid increase in hazard trees, though forested areas away from high use areas are showing signs of increasing infestation and die off of oaks. The project will stage excess oak, which have been removed as hazard trees, immediately north of employee housing at the very south end of CRSP along Merrigan Fire Road. Fencing may be needed to enclose the stored wood to ensure no theft of this resource.
