McKinney Post-Fire Reforestation & Recovery
Project Overview
Basics
McKinney Post-Fire Reforestation & Recovery
Technical Assistance - CAL FIRE Forest Health Pilot
Implementation
The McKinney Fire (2022) burned >60,000 acres resulting in a damaged forest ecosystem with high soil burn severity and high erosion risk that has experienced multiple debris flows that continue to impact fish passage and habitat. Technical Assistance is requested to develop a Forest Health Pilot Project that would support the long-term recovery of these areas through reforestation and stabilization actions to slow the rates of water and sediment movement and stabilize upslope areas. The requested technical assistance would enlist the help of experienced foresters to help the Tribe refine the pilot project's focus and identify suitable areas to prioritize for reforestation treatments.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
This request for Technical Assistance (TA) is to enlist the help of experienced foresters to help the Yurok Tribe develop a CalFire Forest Health pilot project that targets reforestation of catastrophically burned areas in the McKinney Fire (2022) footprint, which has experienced large debris flows and large sediment inputs to the watershed. TA would specifically focus on planning and further developing the project concept and result in a more specific geographic area and refined scope of work for a pilot Forest Health pilot implementation project. Potential matching fund sources for the Forest Health pilot proposal would also be identified. This technical assistance request would assist with the collaborative post-wildfire response strategy and restoration implementation that has been initiated through a partnership between the Yurok Tribe Fisheries Department, Karuk Tribe, Mid-Klamath Watershed Council, and Watershed Research & Training Center.

Also, the Authorized Contact for the Yurok Tribe with the sole signature authority is Joseph L. James, Tribal Council Chair. He doesn’t appear on the list, so that field is blank. |
