Week 7

This week the team continued their work at the Old Hotel site. Work included removing willow, cottonwood, and red maple trees but was interrupted mid-week by severe weather including a tornado warning. This allowed the team to enjoy a day to research the local area for their Mid-season Project. During high winds the team is unable to remove trees over 12 feet high and tree inches in diameter due to the inability to predict where they will fall. Also, herbicide cannot be applied when it is raining so it was not possible to do field work that day. The following day work continued at the regularly scheduled project site.
