While serving at "Singing Falls Ranch" in Southern Oregon; 4 AmeriCorps VISTA's and 10 teen leaders of South Douglas County came together and thinned out almost an acre of land in order to prevent forest fires; trees were thinned, branches had been cut and stacked for future mulching and the logs where hauled off the main part of the land and stacked. Everyone had a wonderful time and most importantly we all learned that by serving and working together we were helping to preserve our own living history through the restoration of our majestic environment in Southern Oregon. During the process even the smallest of animals came out to thank us.
