BRK Day 50

Yesterday morning we mulched a bunch of baby trees that finally germinated on Plum Plateau. Afternoon was junk pole harvest, and then a couple of us went for a much needed swim in the river after boot time to get the soot off and cool down

BRK Day 51

Yesterday was again spent mostly on Plum Plateau, putting rock rings around the trees we mulched and mulching new ones as we found them.

Here's the time lapse I took over the weekend, finally got a chance to upload it

Yesterday I spent part of the morning doing chop and drop then spent two hours doing junk pole harvest. We went back after lunch for two more hours of harvest then unloaded and slotted poles for the rest of the day.
