Approximately three acres of wooded land was cleared near taxiway alpha at Shepherd Field, 167th Airlift Wing, Martinsburg, , last month to meet the Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria which calls for a lateral clearance zone of 1000 feet from the runway. The tree clearing also mitigates potential wildlife strikes on the airfield. ( Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sgt. Emily Beightol-Deyerle)
