FORESTRY WORK FOR
BY W. J. M'DOIL
SUMMER HEADQUARTERS WILL
BE AT LAKE KENAI RANGER
STATION
Crews and material are being as
sembled for beginning work on the
various trail projects in the Seward
district of the Chugach national for
est, according to Forest Supervisor
W. J. McDonald who left Seward to
day for Anchorage.
As soon as snow conditions permit,
one crew will begin work on the
north fork of Snow River, where a
trail will be extended from the rail
road toward the head of Snow River.
This project is a part of a system of
trails designed to make the whole
Snow River basin accessible.
A trail was built last year from
the railroad at Mile 12 up to the
South fork of Snow River and across
the divide to Bear Lake. Eventual
ly that project will be united to
make a complete system for the
Snow River drainage.
Another crew will soon begin work
cleaning out old tie trails along the
railroad. These will be somewhat in
the nature of stub trails, and are
being built principally for fire Pro
tection purposes.
Later in the season a crew will be
moved down to the lower end of
Kenai Lake where a trail will be j
constructed from Schooner Bend to
Lower Russian River Lake. This
project will not only serve a very
useful purpose from a fire protection
standpoint but will also facilitate
local and tourist travel in that reg
ion. In the Hope district a trail will
be started this year from the town
of Hope up Resurrection Creek,
which will eventually connect up
with the Kenai Lake trail system.
Mr. McDonald states that early in
May a land classification party will
arrive at Seward and work between
Seward and* Anchorage and in the
Afognak region classifying, areas
This work is being done to stimulate
settlement within the national forest
and make all areas having agricul
tural values readily available for
homestead application.
This will be the second season of
land classification work on the Chu
gach, a portion of the Anchorage dis- !
trict having been classified three
years ago. The classification work
will be done bv Wellman Brook of i
the Juneau office.
Mr. McDonald will spend the next j
two or three weeks in this vicinity j
assisting Ranger Forward to get the j
spring work underway. The* first j
few days in May the fire guards and
trail foremen will be assembled at
the Kenai Lake ranger station for
a three-day guard school. The men
will be given intensive' training in
fire prevention and suppression
methods. Immediately after the
close of the school, the guards will
be sent to their respective stations
and the trail foreman will get out
on the construction jobs.
A new arrangement is being tried j
out this year by making the Kenai
Lake station the summer headquart
ers for Ranger Forward. Fire Ward- '
!
en Annabel and one patrolman. This
station being located fairly well in
the center of the best timbered
*
areas, and near where some of the
larger trail crews will be working, it
