North Arm Haul Away Event 2024

2024 Haul Away Day: Sharing the Responsibility

You Cut and Stack - We’ll Haul Away

This is an opportunity for residents along North Arm, Mackie and Lindskog Roads to reduce the risk of wildfire to your homes by implementing wildfire resiliency strategies.

If you haven’t had a Firewise Evaluation done on your property please contact Gloria Erickson, St. Louis County Firewise Coordinator to schedule an appointment or watch “Tips for Backyard Wildfire Resiliency” at: https://youtu.be/u3kuhZ_0tkc.

Then you begin work on your property by cutting and stacking hazardous woody debris along your driveway and we haul it away at no cost to you.

Please keep track of your hours worked on the volunteer hours form on the back of this flier. This is the in- kind match for the Firewise Program Grant requirements. This includes watching the video and/or having a Firewise
Evaluation done of your property.
