The Board did not receive many DNR In Kind forms in 2021. There is still time to turn them in to DNR, so please send them to the HOA email address as soon as possible. Although we did not receive chipping over the Summer of 2021, residents can still track other fire mitigation methods and yard clean up efforts.

The Board has been trying to get straight answers about being a Fire Wise Community from DNR. It has been difficult to get any communication about this. We hope to have answers by the meeting in May.

Please join fellow community members to clean up Beaver Springs on Saturday, June 5th. All participants should meet at the corral on Lewis and Clark at 9AM.

Some of the projects include clearing deadfall, cleaning out and marking culverts. Please bring equipment that can help with these projects.

Remember to fill out In Kind Forms for any work completed throughout the summer season at BSR. The more details the better!

Saturday, April 24th 9AM, Snow or Shine!

The process of wood chipping has changed some since Summit County has taken it over. They are now ALLOWING volunteers to help their crew. Community Volunteers could make the process go a lot faster, ensuring more piles will get chipped!

Our wonderful resident, Mike Jones, worked with the County Crew last week. Unfortunately, the chipper broke, and they didn’t get through as many piles as hoped. Over the next week the chipper is getting repaired. The County has agreed to return on August 29th and September 4th-5th. The starting time is not set in stone, but is usually around 8:30 AM -9 AM.

If you would like to help volunteer for a few hours on the days listed please contact Mike at 702-858-2693. He is happy to help coordinate volunteers. Volunteers must have eye protection (at least sunglasses) and ear protection (ear plugs), and should wear gloves. Volunteer hours CAN be counted on In-Kind forms. If you are available and can give a few hours of your weekend to help the community it would be greatly appreciated!

As a reminder: This service helps us ensure the reduction of fire hazards by chipping wood piles that have been prepared through our cleanup work. The crews will complete as many piles as time allows.

Remember, only piles that have been properly stacked will be chipped. Stacks must be near the road or your driveway. Do not extend stacks into the borrow ditches or BSR roads so as to not hinder traffic or any necessary road work. Wood must be stacked in parallel formation. Do not cut logs into short pieces. Longer logs allow for more efficient work and cleanup. Stacking similar diameter pieces together will also help the crew be more efficient. Chippings will be left near your pile.

The picture shows how the wood needs to be stacked: larger diameter end facing the road for easy access and handling.  If not properly stacked, the crews may bypass your property. Now is a good time to begin if you have not already started cleaning your property and stacking wood in preparation for the chipping project. Don’t forget to file a NFP In-Kind Form.

Wood chipping is planned for August 18th-19th. Summit County is now the responsible entity that provides us with this service.

Our annual spring cleanup day is scheduled for Saturday, June 1st, at 9:00am. Please meet at the corral for work review and assignments. Bring shovels and chain saws if you have them available.

The DNR will again assist us with cleanup efforts and reduction of fire hazards by chipping wood piles that have been prepared through our cleanup work. DNR chipping dates will be posted once they are known.

As a reminder: DNR will only work on piles that have been properly stacked. Stacks must be near the road or your driveway. Do not extend stacks into the bar ditches or BSR roads so as to not hinder traffic or any necessary road work. Wood must be stacked in parallel formation. Do not cut logs into short pieces. Longer logs allow for more efficient work and cleanup. Stacking similar diameter pieces together will also help the crew be more efficient. Chippings will be left near your pile.

The pictures below show how the wood needs to be stacked: larger diameter end facing the road for easy access and handling.  If not properly stacked, the DNR crews may bypass your property. Several property owners have already stacked wood close to the roads. Now is a good time to begin if you have not already started cleaning your property and stacking wood in preparation for the chipping project. Don’t forget to file a NFP In-Kind Form for work done outside of our Annual Cleanup (we’ll do the tracking for work done with the group during the Cleanup).

The 2018 Spring Cleanup attacked the areas of Colter east to Ashley, Mud Hill, and down the hill on Lewis & Clark. A huge thank you to those who came out to help!
