Pinebrook
Master Association and Pinebrook Homeowners Association have contracted with
Summitt Forests of Ashland, Oregon to do fire prevention related work on two of
our community owned properties. Later in the summer or early in the fall,
tree removal work will be performed on eight acres adjacent to upper Pinebrook
Road and lower Canyon Drive, and Oak Brush removal work will be performed
on two acres adjacent to Dan’s Crest Trail between Canyon Drive and Hitching
Post Drive. The objectives of these projects are fuel reduction and
creation of fire breaks.
Summitt
Forests has agreed to take on individual homeowner fuel reduction project work
while working here in Pinebrook, subject to the work being performed similarly
to the work being performed on our community property and with the
understanding that they do not offer any arborist services. We believe
that for those homeowners in our neighborhood that are looking to remove a
moderate or large amount of dead trees and/or a large amount of Oak Brush that
these services will be a very cost effective alternative to having the work
performed by our local tree companies. Any work being done on a
homeowner’s property will be subject to a contract being executed between the
homeowner and Summitt Forests directly with all costs paid by homeowners
directly to Summitt Forests.
If
you are interested in having Summitt Forests evaluate the work on your
property, please send an email as soon as possible to both David Geffen
at dgeffen.pinebrook@yahoo.com and Don
Brownatdonb@utahskies.org with
some general information about your situation. David and Don can share
some additional information about the services to be provided if you have
questions. We will be aggregating the homeowner requests and will pass
them on to Summitt Forests and then they will be in touch with you to discuss
your needs. Additionally, if you have any questions about the work to be
performed on our community owned properties, please contact David and Don.
