The city of Ashland is hosting a four-hour tour of the Ashland watershed from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15. The tour focuses on the Ashland Forest Resiliency project area where work on forest restoration and fire safety is intended to protect the slopes shedding into Reeder Reservoir, through which the bulk of the city's water supply passes. Recent funding has allowed the city to move forward with plans to thin more than 1,000 new acres with a combination of ecologically sensitive machinery and light touch helicopter thinning set to begin this fall, the city said in a prepared statement. Tour takers will look at proposed thinning areas, recently marked trees and hear about intricacies involved in planning the work in diverse and sensitive landscape that's prone to wildfire. Anyone planning to attend should email their name, phone number and number of people in their party to [email protected].     By Local report DailyTidings.com By Local report Posted Aug. 13, 2015 at 7:27 PM Updated Aug 13, 2015 at 10:16 PM » Comment or view comments   Reader Reaction »  STAY INFORMED   Email NewsLetter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
