Hitch 2: Duck Creek Basin

Another great week working at Duck Creek Basin and camping at Timber Creek Campground in the Humboldt-Toiyobe National Forest.  Out Pinyon-Juniper reduction project is helping to restore sagebrush habitat and also creates a fire break.  Our project sponsor is the Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition.  
Olivia holding a baby pinyon tree we pulled up.  She is holding it at the above-below ground point.  Long taproot!

Lunch tree on our last day.  Trees that had crowned were left standing.

Lots of large anthills like this one.  So far I haven't been bitten, but they often form around the trunks of the trees we are cutting
Felling a small tree.
Our crew and our partner crew pose on our final day after we load the trucks.
