In an effort to prevent the spread of fire to residences, the City of Bend contracted for tree removal at Juniper Ridge.
Tree removal on the Juniper Ridge west boundary is for the purpose of creating a fire break. The City contracted for the removal as a fire prevention effort should fire start on city land.
Juniper Ridge is a Sub Employment District slated for development sometime in the next decade. Three parcels were sold last year. Construction began recently on the BMS Mailing Service building which will house 70 employees.
