Brand Maintenance Center
Thanks to Chuck Thurlow and his crew the new Brand Ranger Station insides is being finished and set up. The crew built the Ranger’s office, the conference room, the bath room and utility room as well as the two major partitions separating the power work area, wood shop and storage areas. The Friends also built the Szablewski Shooting Sports room and commissary/trading post room in the storage area. A crew lead by Tim Boyd built the wood shed over the wood furnace that supplies heat to the new center. With additional funds from the Friend, the Vic Wolmer conference room was completed.
