From Our Grounds Keeper:

CSC has removed or trimmed over 17 cottonwood trees on the club grounds. The wood is located by range 6 and between the trap range and the lake. The wood is free for the taking by CSC members for outdoor bonfires. You will need to cut the wood and haul it away. What remains will`be burned in the spring.

Also our farming partner has bulldozed a path leading South along the railroad tracks from the front gate. There are a lot of knocked down trees just the right size for firewood. You will need to cut up the wood and haul it away.
