    <p>Hi neighbors -</p>
    <p>The morning update is attached (see Ted Mather's notes below).</p>
    <p>The virtual community meeting this evening will be streamed on
      facebook:</p>
    <p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.facebook.com/CusterGallatinNationalForest">https://www.facebook.com/CusterGallatinNationalForest</a></p>
    <p>Normally a recording is available afterwards as well.</p>
    <p>Nancy Lande checked with MT DOT on the disposition of burned
      trees in the highway corridor. Here's the answer:</p>
    <div class=""><i>I spoke with:</i></div>
    <div class=""><i><br class="">
      </i></div>
    <i>Kyle de Mars Bozeman Maintence 556.4704</i>
    <div class=""><i><br class="">
      </i></div>
    <div class=""><i>About the blackened trees in the state right of
        way. First, an interesting fact. He said that just because a
        tree is black, it doesn’t mean that it won’t grow back. Next,
        they will cut trees that are in danger of falling on the road
        and make further assessments. Normally, the Power lines and
        utility boxes are within 2-3 feet before private land and
        fences. You can call him directly. They will be taking a drive
        up the canyon sometime soon. Kyle is the head of maintenance </i></div>
    <div class=""><i><br class="">
      </i></div>
    <div class=""><i>I hope that helps. Also, he mentioned that the
        burnt grass will be good for spring renewal, which is what I
        thought, since I know farmers often burn their grass before the
        following season. <br>
      </i></div>
    <div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-forward-container">I noticed this morning that green
      grass is already coming up. Let's hope for rain in dribbles, not a
      deluge, until cover is established.</div>
