K-Max Helicopter Assists Climbers Removing Hazard Trees

Arborists from Brink's Land Improvement work with Swanson Group Aviation and their K-Max to remove difficult hazard trees along the McKenzie River. This area was badly burned by the Holiday Farm Fire in the fall of 2020. These trees are over 180' from the highway but the way they were leaning with their height surpassing 230', they had to be taken down to keep river goers and travelers on Highway 126 safe. This part of the Hazard Tree Removal project is a joint effort with Oregon Debris Management Task Force, Suulutaaq, Inc. Oregon Branch, Brink's Land Improvement and Swanson Group Aviation. Thank you to the land owners, residents and motorists in the area for your continued patience with all of the work in the area.
