Got trees/brush to remove?
The CREW is ready to work:
With a decline in federal funding to work on Forest Service lands and elsewhere our local non-profit, The CREW is looking for work. They are great at getting all kinds of brush cleared, trees removed and as a non-profit their rates are reasonable. In hiring The CREW you are helping train a new generation of folks to use saws and work in the field.
If you have need for dead trees/limbs to be removed, one local resource is The C.R.E.W. - Concerned Resource & Environmental Workers. Since 1991 this Ojai-based nonprofit has provided paid employment to young people in conservation and forestry work. With a workforce trained in chainsaw use for fire abatement, The C.R.E.W. is available at a reasonable fee to take down trees and limbs in orchards. They also have a chipper.
The C.R.E.W. works throughout Ventura and Southern Santa Barbara counties. In fact, The C.R.E.W. was hired in 2016 by California Citrus Mutual to take out neglected orange trees on private property to limit growers' exposure to ACP/HLB.
