Storm Cleanup in Gold Ridge Forest
Downed trees on open ground and across drives, plus storm debris hauled or staged — handled by the same local crews that do our clearing work.
Storms in the Gold Ridge Forest area drop the same trees that make the fuel problem: overloaded pines, oaks past their span, and everything the last dry summer weakened. We clear what's already down on open ground and sort the debris for the next step — and because we're a clearing outfit first, the cleanup doubles as a look at what should come out before the next fire season.
The facts below describe Gold Ridge Forest from public county and federal records — worth a look whether the storm brought us or the brush did.
