The Haines Borough Assembly voted 4-2 to spend $57,000 to clear brush about town in an effort to reduce “bear hiding areas.”
The project will remove and dispose of underbrush and trees less than 10 inches in diameter and limb larger trees to a height of 12 feet off the ground on five different areas around the townsite including near the Haines School, the Haines Hitch-up RV Park and Tlingit Park.
