April 11 mulching event helps fire mitigation
Area residents brought in their tree limbs and branches to be mulched in the second annual Mulch Madness event on April 11 in Monument. The event is sponsored by the Mountain View Electric Association (MVEA) in partnership with the Town of Monument Public Works Department and Monument Fire District. A total of 178 MVEA members protected their properties and the surrounding community by clearing excess brush and tree debris and having it mulched. Sara Muirheid, MVEA Communications Supervisor, says, “By working together with our local partners, we’re helping reduce fire risk while keeping our communities safe and resilient.” MVEA also offers free tree trimming near power lines.
