OCONTO COUNTY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A year and a half after damaging storms raced through the Northwoods, cleanup continues, that includes work being done near the Mountain Fire Lookout Tower in Oconto County.
On a section of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, logging crews have been busy for about a month, cutting, clearing and salvaging timber on the 400-acre site.
“It’s harder on equipment. It’s generally slower because obviously the landscape they have to move through,” said Adrian Ackley, U.S. Forest Service Forester.
Ackley tells FOX 11 frozen ground supports the heavy equipment, and keeps it from damaging the forest floor. Officials say the effort is part of the ongoing work to clean up after the July 2019 storm which damaged about 100,000 acres of trees on the National Forest.
