As part of our ongoing fire mitigation efforts, we encourage all residents to participate in the 2025 Neighborhood Chipping Program. This is a valuable opportunity to reduce wildfire risk by properly disposing of woody debris.

Woodmen Oaks is scheduled for 2025 chipping under the Rockrimmon region. Chipping schedule dates for Rockrimmon pile pickup will be 6/23 and 9/15.
