About Terra Firma Forestry

By March the snowfield on Mount Shavano has taken the shape people here call the Angel, and the valley starts leaning toward spring while winter keeps having the last word. Terra Firma Forestry, a forestry outfit working the piñon and ponderosa slopes above the Arkansas, spends those months on snow — plowing access roads and driveways, clearing walks, cutting back the hard-pack that afternoon sun turns slick by evening. Trees and snow ask for the same instincts: read the ground, respect the weight, leave the place safer than you found it. A road opened up a wooded hillside is the kind of result you can stand back and look at. Snow removal serves Salida, Poncha Springs, Maysville and the wooded properties nearby.
