OSU Research Forests will be doing Pre-Commercial Thinning (PCT) work in the Lewisburg Saddle area along Vineyard Mountain Trail and parts of the 500 Road beginning as early as tomorrow, 12/14 or Wednesday, 12/15. Contractors will use chainsaws to cut small-diameter trees to provide more growing space for others and will leave the cut trees on the ground to decompose. This operation should not involve any long-term closures, but you may hear or encounter chainsaw work.
