COVER YOUR LOAD

Why is there a charge now?
The Anchorage Woodlot has operated for the past several years under funding provided by a federal appropriation (or earmark); however, due to recent budget constraints and increased focus on earmarks in Alaska and elsewhere, the District is implementing a self-support approach, in an attempt to continue woodlot service to the community.

The ASWCD will charge a minimal fee to cover operational expenses such as employees and material processing. We hope to keep charges to a minimum, and, should future funding become available, we’ll try to reduce or eliminate residential charges.

Because the Municipality and especially MOA Street Maintenance are allowing us to use this site we do not have to pass on the cost of land to the users, a substantial savings. To further keep costs to the current minimum we’re charging, please be as tidy as possible – more mess means higher operational costs that will have to be passed on to you. Together we can operate a self-sustaining, on-going, and valuable option in our community for both wildfire mitigation and for biomass utilization.

All incoming material to this site is processed into material suitable to be used as landscape mulch, on trails, in soil erosion projects and construction projects, within equestrian and livestock areas, or for addition to your compost piles. All material is provided FREE to the community, so be sure to come back before the end of the season to pick up your brush in a different, more useful form.

The community is also welcome to pick up any logs for use as firewood or other creative uses people have found, such as making wooden bowls or chairs and benches.

For questions or more information, please contact the District at 907.677.SOIL (7645).

Thank you.
