Yosemite Photos, Video and News

If you were expecting a photo of the famous 1,000lb hogzilla from Alapaha, Georgia you came to the wrong place.

This is about the HogZilla Shredder that NPS and DNC has brought in to grind up all the junk piles of wood debris they have scattered through the park. Some of these piles are massive and normally they burn them all causing a lot of air pollution.

This HogZilla grinds up the debris and loads it  into tractor trailers to be hauled away and used as biomass fuel. So far it seems to working quite well and has eliminated several piles in the park most notably the large debris pile at the El Capitan wood yard.

This is a great idea and has saved residents and park visitors from days of smoke pollution that we normally get when they burn all these pile.

Maybe NPS should purchase one? It could be used all through the park all the time and keep our air from being polluted.
