Thanks so much to those who showed up to help us plant the seeds and bulbs in the flower “boxes” and in the areas on each side of Timberlakes Rd. (just inside the gate)!  We want to create a fabulous first impression as you enter Timberlakes Estates.  We are doing this by planting a wildflower blend of seeds and bulbs that are appropriate for this area and provide a variety of bold and delicate blossoms; with both early and late blooming wildflowers, daffodils, crocus and hyacinth for color throughout the growing season.  Thanks to Steve Drew for the donation of Russian Sage, Don Christian and Mike Durr for backhoe equipment and volunteers Barb & Jeff Meierhofer, Beth and Gil Miller, Judy Eddins, Bonnie Armstrong,  Al & Lynn Katcher, and Terrie Schultz.  If you would like to be a part of this sub-committee of the Common Areas Committee, just contact Terrie Schultz.

Hiking/snowshoeing trails are accessible now. Come check them out and/or volunteer!

The Timberlakes Common Area Committee and volunteers have started work on several key projects in our common areas across the mountain.

The first is called Jones Lake. It will have a picnic and improved year-round parking area with hiking, snowshoeing trails, and pond exploration around Jones Lake.  This area includes Plats 9A, 10, and 11, and is accessible from Lake Pines Drive across from lot 946. Volunteers are designing the picnic area, which will include a natural play area. The hiking trail meanders through stands of cottonwood, around marshes (for good bird watching), and eventually into a large aspen grove. It will be marked for both winter and summer use. To prevent off-road vehicles from disturbing the common areas, a natural barrier will be included to prevent access where possible.

Chris Bala is volunteer trail boss for this site. Trail-building volunteers to date include: Gil Miller, Craig Jeppson, Matt Anderson, Carrie Bala, Barbara Stone, Tom Metcalf, Monty Botoson, Terrie Schultz, and Carolyn Rose.

The second project underway is improvement of the Moose Trail, on Plat 19, off of Raccoon Drive near the top of the development. This is a fabulous wildlife and wild flower viewing trail that cuts down the canyon through aspen and pine forest, crossing the creek several times. Trail bosses Barb and Jeff Meierhofer have led a team of volunteers to site the northern trail, build natural bridges, and place stepping stones in several creek crossings.  This volunteer team includes Jim and Dixie Carroll, Daryl and Twila Sparti, Judy Eddins, Marie Barton, and Theresa Gubler. A four-car parking area is available on the north side of the street and is marked.

The next few weeks are the last chance to reduce next year’s crop of thistles. Many areas have been appropriately controlled and are making headway. If you have thistles on, or near, your property, please take the following action before the spread of the seeds.

Using heavy gloves, pull or clip off the thistle heads and deposit them in a plastic bag. Then pull the plant up from the roots, if possible. Leave the thistle plant on the ground as it will decompose. You can also move the pulled weed to another area on your property. Deposit the sealed bag of thistle heads in the dumpster, but not the whole plant. Please do put the entire thistle plant in the dumpster because of space concern for garbage, particularly on a holiday weekend. Please do not put them in the wood chipping pile because they will be spread throughout the community. Thanks to those of you that have cleared the thistles from your property and thanks in advance for those still working on it.
