Memorandum, J. A. Parsell, Moose Creek, to Forest Supervisor, Bitterroot National Forest, 6 December 1949 Item Info

J. A. Parsell writes to inform the Regional Forester of a new safety issue at Shearer airstrip. Trees growing at the north end of the mouth of Elk Creek have grown 6 to 8 feet since Shearer was first established, making takeoffs difficult, even dangerous for some aircraft. Parsell suggests that a clearing be made but is quick to claim that the job is too big to be covered by district money and labor.
