Cutting Complete! Every year the FS (Forest Service) is given a quota of acreage to thin in the forest. For that reason Americorps has been manning chain saws and swamping debris. Lately it’s been a made rush to get done before the deadline. Today we completed the FS goals. What do you win for completing early? Even more work next year. More importantly people can continue to be sent on dispatches. Dispatches are important for Americorps enjoyment, FS employee over-time and keeping FS costs down to stay on budget.
