Woody is back from Holiday and Raring to go for this Wed, Nov 8
Monday, November 6, 2023 at 7:25AM The initial message last month produced multiple replies. These properties are first on the list, and there should be capacity for more.
No promises as it is difficult to estimate).
The typical volume is one to two VW beetles equivalent volume of branches to give you an idea.
This event is made possible by the "All about Smoke" community grant from Island Health and community volunteer labor.
Expectations:-
homeowner will assist to the best of their abilities with the chipping process (please use gloves and appropriate eye, ear and toe protection)
- branches are piled in a place readily accessible by 50' long pickup & Woody trailer.
Many hands make light work, and additional volunteers would be appreciated to help expedite the chipping process at each property, and maximize the number of properties we can reach. If you can help, please let me know how much time you can offer and we will figure out how to co-ordinate.
Info which will be needed from participants:
1. What type of material do you have? Size, species etc.
2. What quantity?
3. What is the address / location?
4. Best access for 50' long pickup / trailer setup?
5. Do you want the chips, or want them removed? (So far everyone who has responded would like to keep the chips, which is great, as this makes it a lot simpler).
Please respond before midday on Tuesday.
I will send out an email on Tuesday night to advise the route and / or some idea of the estimated arrival time to each property.
Thank you to all the volunteers and participants that are helping to reduce smoke on our island!
