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.
