Eagle Valley Tree HarvestingWaste Management had to removethe remaining trees on the west sideof Eagle Valley for cell development.Aaron Whatley, Director of Parks andRecreation for Orion Township, askedif the township could have some ofthe trees to mill for lumber and forfirewood to be used at Camp Agawamfor their events. The trees would havebeen salvaged as mulch and firewood from the tree clearing companybut Waste Management was happy to repurpose the trees directlywith the township.
