Monthly Update - February 2010

Work is progressing at Baldwin in preparation of burning. Fire lanes have been installed on the eastside of Baldwin and we have access to the westside of the property. The paper work for the turnout permit has been filed with Baldwin County. Once the permit is secured, the roadwork will begin.

Chopping at Choccolocco began in February and will continue through March. We will continue to monitor their progress to ensure completion in a timely manner.

Mulching continues at Geneva; however, the rain events have slowed the work. As spring approaches, the ground conditions should improve so we can complete the designated areas. Additional sites have been identified in order to reach the targeted acreage.

We are in the process of soliciting bids for cogongrass control at Baldwin, herbicide site prep at Choccolocco, herbaceous control and understory competition control at Geneva, and understory competition control at Little River. This work will begin in April and continue through the year.
