Hey everybody, I wasn't sure where exactly to post this request and thought I would start here. If I am in the wrong area please let me know where to post it at. I work with a small group of volunteers here in Christian County that is called Hearts to Hearth. We cut, split and deliver firewood for free to the needy. 2 years ago we were able to deliver 255 pickup truck loads. Last year our volunteer base fell of drastically and were only able to deliver about 75 loads. I have access to an area that is about 250 acres in size and has about 200-300 tree tops on the ground ready to cut. What I am asking for is as many chainsaw people as possible for 1 day only. The date will be September 28th. I'm hoping to get enough people together to cut as much, if not all, of these tops as can be cut. No delivering, just cutting and moving the cut wood to the front of the property for further processing. A 4 wheel drive truck will be needed to get back to where the wood is. If you don't have a truck we will shuttle people and equipment back to the area. You will need to bring food and water for yourselves. I'm planning on starting about 8am and lasting until about 6pm or whenever we get tired and decide to stop.
I'm looking into the possibility of being able to camp out there and making it a 2 day affair but have not been able yet to clear that with the landowner, so for right now am planning on 1 day.
If you are interested in fellowship with other AS members and have some fun with your chainsaws and donate to a good cause please PM me with questions and directions to the sight. If needed I will have somebody posted at the front of the property for people that can make it but would be late because of distance travelled. I realize that everyone who reads this won't be able to come because of certain constraints but would appreciate any and all that can come.
I will keep everybody posted as to progress.
Thank you very much for your time,
Workshop
