MB&G is excited to announce we have adopted a section of Highway 22 that we will maintain as part of our established community service program. This section of Highway 22 has a particularly sentimental meaning for our team as it is where our field work started on the ODOT Hazard Debris Removal project in the Beachie Creek fire corridor in December 2020 and includes several sensitive resources including a large wetland. Our work to maintain this area will include cleaning up trash along 2 miles of the highway, which is nothing new to our staff. While working on this project, MB&G staff have informally collected trash while performing their work within each of the nine fire corridors over the past 18 months. MB&G hosted our first community service day in the rain for the newly adopted highway. We are thrilled to finally formalize the adoption and take ownership for cleaning up this area, a commitment we’ve had since day one on the project.
While conducting stand exams for the Upper Grouse Valley Project in California, MB&G foresters Ande Myers, Ian Cummins, and Rubie Teffeteller came across these impressive giant puffball mushrooms.
READ MOREMB&G is supporting PG&E with a hazard tree patrol to identify dead and dying trees along the Salt Springs/Tiger Creek Canal system in California. The canal system’s primary purpose is to supply water for hydropower generation. As the water continues downstream, it also becomes a source of drinking water for local utility districts. These historic canals have played an important role in Amador County for decades and present a unique environment for forestry work. Projects like this highlight the diverse and specialized work our California forestry team performs across the state.

MBG T2 Mobile was developed to change that. Watch the video below to see MBG T2 Mobile in action and learn how it’s helping forestry professionals collect better data, more efficiently.
