Summer 2009 – Final Preflight Preparations
Pheromone Pouches: We will be distributing our final pheromone orders this Saturday June 27th at the county barn. We’ll be in the lobby with your packs from 9am-11am. For those who still want to order pheromones, you can order with a credit card by going to the GCCI website (www.gcci.us) and clicking on the links at the bottom. We will also be taking orders for pheromone packs at the GCCI board meeting tomorrow night (Wednesday) if you want to stop by with a check.
Hot Yard open on weekends: The County continues to take hot logs at the Biomass Collection site on the weekends from 8am-4:30pm. Right now it is the safest way to dispose of infected trees before the beetles start to fly.
GCCI Board Meeting: The board meeting will be tomorrow night (Wednesday June 24th) at the Justice Center Community Room starting at 7pm. We still have one board position open for anyone who is interested.
Website Features: We have added a contact form to the www.gcci.us website. If you have a request or want to send a comment then click on the “contact GCCI” link on the upper right side and then fill out the contact form. You can also send requests and comments to info@gcci.us.
We have also setup an interactive citizen’s forum at gcci.wordpress.com. We have provided a link at the left hand top on the front page of the website for access. The forum is available to discuss a variety of topics relating to the epidemic and forest management issues.
July and August Recommendations: Lots of hiking and romping around in the outdoors before the beetles devour everything. See you in the fall when fall mitigation efforts get going.
