Community Wildfire Protection Program Reduce Hazardous Fuels
Forest thinning with hand crews and prescribed fire will be implemented to reduce hazardous fuels and enhance residual tree species health. This project is designed to reduce tree densities in order to modify fire behavior to reduce the potential for a catastrophic, stand replacement fire. Forest thinning with hand crews will reduce ladder fuels, overcrowded/diseased trees and enhance forest health. Thinned trees and dead and downed woody debris will be piled throughout the spring, summer and fall months and burned in the fall/winter.
