Service Project:
Southeast Conservation Corps (SECC) and the Cherokee National Forest have partnered to host a Watershed Restoration Crew to perform advanced felling and rigging techniques. The crew will be based out of SECCs Chattanooga, TN office and travel to the Cherokee National Forest to primarily focus on the Citico Creek Watershed and other streams in the Cherokee National Forest. The crew will use chainsaws to fell selected trees and then utilize griphoist rigging techniques to manually place the trees in pre-identified reaches of streams by the Cherokee National Forest Fisheries Biologists and Hydrologists. The crew will collaboratively aid in the restoration of aquatic habitats for native aquatic species by installing large woody habitat structures in streams of the Cherokee National Forest. Although orientations will be implemented, applicants with a strong background in chainsaw felling and rigging are encouraged to apply.
