This was a scheduled project. The object of this project was to perform Spanish Broom removal on Saddle Peak. There were 6 SMMTC volunteers present. Met at the BBT trail head on Stunt Road. Held tool talk and safety briefings. Two volunteers hiked to the peak, while the other four road in the vehicle. On the peak, we treated approximately 3 acres of infested area using the “cut and paint” technique. As expected, there was a significant amount of broom in the area, but still at an easily manageable level. We treated the flat area on top of the peak as well as the lower level and alongside the road leading in from the property line. There is still broom to be treated on the southern and eastern slopes and in the meadow above the large water tank... .Finished work and hiked/drove back to the meeting place. Completed the day's project. Total volunteer hours: 6 Volunteers x 6 hours = 36 hours Feet of trail maintained: NA
