2015 Firewise Award

At the  Association Annual meeting held Monday, May 9th, BSR was given  the Firewise Community/ USA Award.  Ken Ludwig, representing Summit County DNR and the National Firewise Program , presented the award and thanked BSR property owners for their efforts to make our community safer by reducing fire risks through cleanup efforts.

Thank you for your interest and hard work to make our BSR area safer and more attractive by cleaning up your properties and properly stacking deadfall for the DNR chipping program.

DNR will be back again this year to assist with chipping and beautification efforts.

UPDATE: Main Gate Winter Rules in Effect For Now

Substantial snow melt has occurred during the past two weeks.  Lower roads in the association are clear, but the higher roads still have snow on them and may be difficult to navigate in personal automobiles.  Status will be reviewed again later this week and the website updated.

Main gate winter rules are still in effect.  Please respect the current ban on personal vehicles until winter restrictions have been lifted.

 Please keep the gates closed and locked at all times.

Keep BSR Safe and Secure

Let’s work together to keep our wonderful area safe and secure.

Keep the main and snowmobile gates closed and locked.  Leaving the gate(s) open compromises security for the entire BSR area.

Be certain your cabin is locked when you’re not there.

Report suspicious or criminal activity to local authorities.

Obey posted speed limits.

If selling your property, ask your realtor to control your key to the main gate. Key boxes can be stolen.

DNR Chipping Project Complete

The DNR has completed their wood chipping project for the year.  We were able to utilize their services because of your efforts and hard work cleaning up your properties and appropriately stacking deadfall.

Remember to complete the “in-kind” form to record your time cleaning your property and turn it into any board member.  Your reported “in-kind” hours provide the basis for future continued DNR assistance.

Thank you again for a job well done!

Fall DNR Chipping Project

The DNR has informed us they will have a crew here after September 14th for additional chipping similar to that they performed in the spring this year.  The exact dates are unknown at this point.  The chipper will be smaller this time and will not take wood larger than 12″ in diameter.  Wood must be stacked in the same manner as before for ease of handling.

Areas not reached in the spring will receive first attention.

If you have additional cleanup and chipping needs, use the next few weeks to get ready for the DNR chipping project.

Remember to complete the “in-kind” form to record your time cleaning your property and turn it into any board member.

More information will be posted as it is provided.
