2018 Spring Cleanup Photos
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!

2018 Spring Cleanup — Saturday, June 2
Our annual spring cleanup day is scheduled for Saturday, June 2nd, 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).
Keep a Record of all Outside Work: NFP In-Kind Form
Keep a record of all cleanup work you do and help our community earn credit toward future cleanup assistance by the county.
Once your cleanup is completed and recorded, turn in the form to any board member.

2017 Spring Cleanup Photos
We had several people show up to assist with the annual cleanup project on Saturday, June 6th. (More than those shown in the pictures… A few people didn’t want their picture taken.) Cleanup focused on the western half of Colter Road. Thank you to all who helped!

DNR Chipping
It is anticipated that the DNR will chip properly stacked wood piles in BSR the week of June 26. We encourage property owners to have their wood piles properly organized and stacked. (Thanks to all who participated in the Spring Cleanup last Saturday. Photos will be posted soon.)
As a reminder, the chipping crew is also a firefighting crew. The June 26 anticipated chipping date may be postponed depending on firefighting requirements.
Update, July 20: The DNR crews have been busy fighting fires and have been unable to come in and chip, yet. We probably won’t see them until later in the year after the fire season has slowed down.
Update, August 30: The DNR crew coordinator has us on the schedule and is hoping the crew come can before the program is shut down for the year.

BSR Receives 2016 Firewise Community USA Recognition
BSR has again received recognition of our continuing efforts to provide homeowners and surrounding communities with improved wildfire defense. Thank you for your continuing efforts to make BSR safer and more attractive by cleaning up your properties and properly stacking dead-fall for the DNR chipping program.
A large part of our efforts is the Spring Cleanup event. Please see the 2017 Spring Cleanup post for more information on this event and details of stacking. We look forward to seeing everyone at the cleanup!
DNR will be back again this year to assist with chipping and beautification efforts. We will post dates as soon as we know, but we often don’t get notice more than the day of or day before.
2016 DNR Chipping Confirmed — Exact date(s) not yet known
The DNR has confirmed that they will again chip wood piles this year ….. similar to last year. It is important that the wood piles be properly stacked as shown in the accompanying pictures. Wood chips will be left on your property. Stacked wood should be placed close to the main BSR roads, easily accessible by work crews.
Chipping dates will be posted as soon as we are notified. Significant advanced notice may not be possible. Please clean your properties now in preparation for DNR work.
We appreciate the work and cleanup efforts already evident throughout the BSR area. Your cleanup efforts earned us a Firewise USA award for 2015 and contribute to a similar recognition for 2016.
