<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>
<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>

</b>
<ul>
<li>Starting today, we will be sending out updates in the
morning only (unless fire activity warrants an
additional evening update).</li>
<li>Bridger Canyon Road is now open. SLOW DOWN and watch
for firefighting traffic and residents potentially
moving livestock.</li>
<li>The Forest modified the area closure, shrinking the
closed area. Make sure you KNOW BEFORE YOU GO. Check
the Closures tab on the Inciweb site or refer to the
informational graphic emailed last evening.</li>
<li>Virtual community meeting tonight via Facebook Live on
the Custer Gallatin NF page, 7 p.m.</li>
