The project will target specific, high priority actions that will provide fire safety for people and water delivery infrastructure, and improve water quality for the communities of Etna, Quartz Valley Indian Reservation and Quartz Valley, all economically disadvantaged communities, by reducing road inputs, augmenting large wood in streams and reducing fuel loads. Co-benefits of employment, climate resiliency and salmonid fisheries improvement will accrue.
