Our project involves scores of large parcel owners each with different historical practices and experience. As a county, Sonoma County is among the most parcelized in the state with relatively few large parcel owners, which creates challenges when working to achieve landscape level projects that can effectively reduce wildfire risk and improve the health of forests and watersheds. Our Forest Stewardship Plan involves creating an overarching document with separate addenda for each private parcel owner. We need technical assistance to supplement our chosen forester and create the many maps and timber resource inventories required by forest practice rules, integrate wildfire response planning with Cal Fire and our local fire agencies, and use advanced machine learning techniques to identify and prioritize projects with the most potential impact to reduce wildfire risks.
