Paa-Ko’s Latest Chipping Project a Success

Thanks to 81 residential lot owners who participated in the HOA’s third chipping project. During two long event days a four-person team chipped over 461 cubic yards of lot debris that included dead trees, tree trimmings associated with Firewise thinning, and broken branches resulting from the weight of our 16-inch recent snow.

We revisited Chaco Loop (26 participants!), where we saw what a neighborhood section can achieve when they commit. But our team spent most of its time on southern Paa-Ko Drive and along Canyon Ridge.  Earlier, community volunteers had trimmed and stacked material from our southern entrance medians. You’ll notice a cleaner appearance at our oldest entrance (and we’re not done). Special team assistance was given to five “seasoned” households requiring a little help.

This HOA project was funded entirely by Ciudad Soil and Water Conservation District and our contractor was Wes Odle’s outstanding New Mexico Tree and Saw service.
