Re: [pumpclub] Scappoose Trails

The trails aren't closed yet people. Ron seems to indicate that the
land owner wants the manufactured materials removed from their
properties (lumber and nails). Treated lumber is a pest and fire risk
I bet. Nails can injure a forester when felling a tree. Hopefully John
will identify the land owner's concerns and help all of the builders
understand some new building guidelines.
