Cap Sauers Holding, Saturday January 4, Sunday January 5
We went back to back at Cap Sauers, with the first day devoted to brush and small tree removal while the crew from Atrium Landscape worked a good distance away thinning larger trees. We had a large group on Day One which included a couple members of the FPCC Palos crew, and a smaller volunteer group on Day Two. We again had help from the Palos crew on the second day, which was terrific. Commercial fellers can take down larger trees than volunteers are certified for and some of the targets that need to come down are of that size.
These were among the coldest mornings of the season, the wrong time to discover some of your footwarmers are well past their use-by date (my bad!), but the fires and the physicality of the task were plenty adequate to keep me warm. It was a very pretty day to be outdoors, with a sky that grew more clear as the day went on.
