WORKPLAN
Jewett School Children’s Forest
Timeline and Hours of Work:
Project Start Date:
To be determined
Shift Details:
Daily work will commence after students have finished their forest walk and are inside
Shift breaks in work will coincide with student recess and lunch to accommodate safety concerns
School District (Tara and Chris) and Lardeau LINKS (Chelsea) will be kept apprised of work activities and milestones
Location:
From Kaslo, drive north on Hwy 31 for approximately 40km until you reach the village of Meadow Creek. Look for Meadow creek Road on your left. Drive for approximately 350m and find Jewett School on your right.
Site access:
Main gate will be closed at all times when school is not in session
Signage and barricades surrounding forest to indicate work area
Work Plan
Equipment:
Caterpillar 3.5 ton mini-excavator / 14’ dump trailer
John Deere Tractor Forwarder / Self-loading trailer
BC1200XL Wood chipper / 1-ton dump truck
Pioneer 520 UTV
Phases:
As discussed, the complexity of the project will require the integration of these phases.
Forwarding
Excavator moving root wads, odd shaped stumps, random chunks to areas where the tractor/forwarder can access.
Tractor/forwarder moving logs and root wads to the landings which the log truck can access.
*Important to begin early in the project and move as much of this as possible to areas where good bunk logs exist in order to have material to build good loads when log truck is present.
Chainsaw crews will process, rig, and yard smaller material to forward locations where it can be chipped into the enclosed dump truck.
Hauling
Once enough material has been forwarded, we can allow the log truck to work at it’s pace, supported by enough bunks logs to build loads and haul oddly shaped material. This technique will be used to remove the material classified as pulp.
The large diameter cut cedar stumps, uprooted stumps, and root wads will also be hauled. The technique will be used to remove all the material classified as waste.
Material that is dragged and winched to the access points will be chipped by hand into a 1-ton dump truck and hauled off site. This technique will be used to process and remove material classified as chipping.
The dump trailer will be staged daily at a loading area. Throughout each day, hand crews will work to fill it with processed firewood. Clinton will leave site each day with enough time to take the load to it’s delivery point. Given the expected length of the project, finishing the estimated number of delivery locations should roughly coincide with project completion, if we deliver a load a day. Any further loads can be delivered by Clinton in the days following. This technique will be used to process and remove material classified as firewood.
Processing
Roughly two people will be processing material for chipping: removing limbs, bucking, cutting, and stacking material for winching.
Roughly two people will be ranging for firewood, processing wood into 16” lengths and forwarding to the dump trailer by hand and using the UTV.
Roughly two people will be moving the 1-ton dump truck successively, chipping the staged piles of limbs and delivering mulch.
