COEUR D ALENE, Idaho A project to protect the health of Tubbs Hill began Thursday, reported by our news partner, the Coeur d Alene Press.
About 50 ponderosa pine and some Douglas fir trees came crashing down Jan. 13 as winds reached an estimated 70 mph. Some were uprooted along the main trail, while others fell across trails and hillsides.
It’s time for them to be hauled off by a mini-logging operation of sorts or chipped on site and spread out.
