Community Wildfire Protection Program Reduce Hazardous Fuels
The project includes forest fuels removal over 252 acres to improve forest stand conditions and overall forest health. The selection tree removal will target the removal of suppressed, dead, dying, and non-resilient stands of timber for forest health and risk reduction of catastrophic wildfire. The objective of the timber harvesting is to improve the remnant stands of forest and timber to a healthy and desirable physiological condition promoting forest resilience and the desired phenology throughout the area and to bolster public safety from severe wildfire.
