| Because of the good work done in the previous two years by the Weed Crew, this year the work is a lot of walking and a little bit of digging. The work is being done by Forest Service summer workers. When the logging trucks are gone from the narrow roads, FAC volunteers will join in and work as partners ion this year's work of knapweed control and inventory at Onion Camp. | ||||||||||||||||
