We had our best year yet for clearing green waste. Thanks to Truckee Fire for their community dumpster rebate program and the TTSD grapple crews. Also to PG&E Wood Management who spent weeks cleaning up their work from previous years.
We completed the implementation of the grant from Truckee Fire Measure T with street address signs, road signs and tarps for firewood.
We hosted Dillon Sheedy, Truckee Fire's forester, at our annual meeting in July.
