Firewise was completed for the year 2025, but funding has run out for the 2026 season. Efforts are being made to hire an independent pickup around the lake for the willing, willing to pay for it, that is. DLA President Jeff Johnston is collecting names to see if enough residents would be willing to participate. It is hoped that the same contractor, One Two Trees, could provide a group discount.

Our Firewise brush pickup has some protocols. Please have your brush piles stacked and tagged with Bright Ribbons. Best practice recommendation to observe “right-of-way” ordinance accommodating both County workers and One Two Trees. The contractor’s grappling hook can reach piles 15 feet back from the shoulder of the road (as practical).
