Flagline is now ready. Due to fire restrictions - chainsaws were not allowed this year and sawyers from cota used crossed saws to get the job done. Thank you deschutes for letting workers in a day early. To date there are over a dozen crosscut certified sawyers within Cota.

Did you know that #NWSAW works on all trails and with all groups? Hiking trails, mountain bike trails, snowmobile trails, moto trails, roads and even wilderness trails.
Over the weekend we accessed some moto trails needing clearing and due to slow speeds we used Protos helmets which really were nice in the heat. Having hearing protection is the key and we can communicate a lot easier. We also wore saw pants which are similar to moto pants. You just need to find some which are cooler and allow placement under your boot.

Cota Sawyers have cleared the danger kitty on tiddlywinks. She’s ready for full send.
Due to fire danger chainsaws are not allowed so local sawyers on the Deschutes have been using Crosscut saws. We will have another class this fall if you are interested in getting certified on crosscut (or chainsaw).
Thanks Brian/Mike

Occ Pyramid epic loop is now clear!
Joe/loren worked over the 4th on chimney and most stuff was smaller and messy and brushy.
Tread on chimney needs a lot of help. Way worse than last year. Keep this in mind. Don’t fall off the cliff!
Only got footage of this 36” tree. No real complexity but a terrible lay. Used the GoPro in Timelapse mode.
Thanks @robertaxleproject for the help.

#NWSAW crew Brian, Chris, Alex, Tim and Ed cleared Browder the other day. 30+ trees and a few that were fairly massive. Gate is also all clear.

A crew of 7 from #NWSAW worked on clearing North Pyramid trail on Friday. We got most all the big stuff clear and did quite a bit of tread repair. One of the biggest messes of green trees uprooted I’v seen. So much pent up energy to release! So many rootballs and giant holes to fix.
Many stuck bars later we ran out of time and energy.
We had 4 sawyers, 2 tread workers and 1 brusher and we all did some swamping.
Below 2047 was not touched and the upper trail was scouted but not finished. About 20 low complexity trees remain all spaced evenly.
Stay tuned for @nathanfrechen and crew heading over to work on the OCC in about a week. Will the loop get clear? 🙏
Next on our agenda is clearing Browder ridge and heart lake early this coming week. 20+ trees with a couple over 30” according to last report. Gate is clear.
Thanks for a day Joe, Ian, Gary, Tim, Cody, Bill and Chris! Tim had his first day with us ever. We met him while clearing Northfork recently. Great guy!

A couple of #NWSAW crew members, Cody and Mike, spent National Trails Day weekend working on the North Umpqua Trail.
They cleared the Lemolo section and knocked out roughly 4 miles on the Middle D+T segment. Unfortunately, Dread and Terror continues to get worse every year. The trail needs a tremendous amount of work, and in many places it’s literally disappearing back into the forest.
Our next goal is to shift from pure logout work into tread repair and brushing so we can start reclaiming sections of trail that have become increasingly difficult to follow on bike.

Questionable life choices on Friday…
We picked up where we left off recently and working on Chimney Peak Trail, which was hammered by the Pyramid Fire. It’s a pretty good mess.
Two sawyers managed to clear about 3/4 of a mile with the help of our friends at @pinemountainsports. Thanks Ian/Joe for suffering through the weather for the greater good.
Meanwhile our saw partners with @cotamtb were over in the Ochocos finishing up a few of central Oregon’s best backcountry trails.
Not every trail day comes with sunshine. 🌧️🌲💪

Another trail back open!
We wrapped up clearing Scar Mountain Trail yesterday on the Cascade Crest. Lots of trees, lots of hiking, lots of driving! We shuttled folks to 2 spots on trail with 3 crews tackling different portions.
Keeping remote trails open takes volunteers, training, equipment, and plenty of fuel. If you appreciate this kind of work and want to help keep it happening, we’d love your support.
Thanks to everyone who swung a tool, moved dirt, pulled brush, packed gear, or ran a saw. Joe, Don, Ian, Brian, Trevor, Mike, Alex and Dan.
Special thanks for the help @alpine.running

Occ report. Thanks for everybody who helped clear crescent Mountain and South pyramid Creek. It’s all good to go! Might have some action shots coming up later. Photo from just below horse camp.
