Deciduous trees like maple and alder will be removed, keeping evergreen trees and some pockets of deciduous trees intact. In Spring 2024 these areas will be replanted with mixed native conifers. Removing many of these hardwoods and transitioning the site to diverse species of evergreens creates a healthier forests that is more tolerant of warmer, drier weather brought on by climate change.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work as we make more room for trees to grow.
