Tree Removal & Restoration on Bob’s Peak
We’re removing invasive wilding pines to protect visitor safety, reduce fire risk, and restore native biodiversity on Bob’s Peak.
Wilding pines have shallow roots, making them prone to falling in high winds. They also outcompete native plants and create acidic “dead zones” on the forest floor. Removing them creates fire breaks and makes way for native regeneration.
This work is part of our long-term environmental restoration plan, which includes native planting, erosion control, and managed grazing to bring the hillside back to life.
