SHARED VISION THROUGH INCLUSIVE, MULTI-BENEFIT REGIONAL PLANNING
Engage with Regional Partners to Inform High Quality Planning and Implementation
Lake Earl (Del Norte) Forest Health Implementation Project
  • Protect and Enhance Forest Based Carbon
  • Protect and Enhance Watersheds and Ecosystems that Provide Water Quality and Supply Benefits
  • Work across Jurisdictional Boundaries to Achieve Common Objectives Effectively and Efficiently
NCRP CAL FIRE Forest Health Pilot
Deferred/Unfunded
The Project prioritizes improvement of forest ecosystem health and resilience. The forested habitat is in decline due to lack of management, fire exclusion, human impacts and invasive plants. Project objectives include fuel reduction, invasives removal and ecosystem restoration over 144 acres. Additional benefits include enhanced public safety, by reducing wildfire threats and improving emergency access for local law enforcement agencies and fire response agencies departments. Recreational uses for hunting, fishing, equestrian, mountain biking, hiking, birding and kayaking will be also improved.
