Contributed photo Dayville hazard trees to be removed Oct. 30 Blue Mountain Eagle On the morning of Oct. 30, crews with the Oregon Department of Trans- portation will begin the process of re- moving hazard trees from the Highway 26 right of way just east of Dayville.

The felling project is expected to be completed on the same day.
