Implementation
The proposed project will directly benefit the Redwood Valley Rancheria Little River Band of Pomo Indians through fuel management on their land. Redwood Valley Rancheria (RVR) consists of 166 acres, 142 acres of mixed hardwood forest and chaparral and the remaining areas consists of grasslands or structures. Structures located within RVR include residential buildings, administration buildings and water supply/wastewater treatment facilities. Fuel management on this propery is essential to protecting structures and culturally significant sites from wildfire.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The proposed project will focus on post-fire management and future fire prevention. Fuel reduction, restoration and re-vegetation will be conducted throughout the forested and oak woodlands that burned in the 2017 Redwood Complex fire. This will improve habitat, encourage native and culturally significant species growth, and reduce wildfire risk. Post-fire management actions will include thinning, pruning, and chipping to reduce accumulated live and dead fuels less than 6 inches in diameter. Basal re-sprouts on trees in burned areas will be reduced to 3-4 dominant re-sprouts. During thinning, hand crews will promote oaks within 100 ft spacing and leave burned oaks standing for 3-5 years for re-sprouting. Crews will focus on the removal of invasive species. Cut and gathered material will be chipped or piled for burning. This project will reduce the probability and intensity of future fires, strengthen the tribe against fire-related economic loss, and restore burned areas.

Project Types
Project Types
TA will assist the project sponsor with developing a grant proposal for the NCRP CalFire Forest Health Pilot program.
The project aims to create job opportunities within the community, effectively utilizing local labor by engaging the local workforce.
This project will actively involve tribal members in the planning of the fuel reduction efforts to ensure their input guides the project's strategic effectiveness and benefits. The project aims to create a fuel reduction plan that reflects the needs and priorities of the community living on RVR property while maximizing environmental and safety outcomes.
Fuel reduction measures completed in this project will increase forest health and mitigate wildfires. By implementing this fuel reduction project RVR will increase the resilience and vitality of the forest ecosystem on their property.
This project will reduce the probability and intensity of future fires, strengthening the tribe against future fire-related economic loss and health repercussions.
