Document and Share the Sustainable Economic Benefits of Working Landscapes and Natural Areas
The project treats extreme fire hazard forest conditions and improves forest health by thinning overstocked stands using a mechanized harvesting system and removing encroaching conifers from adjacent oak woodlands. Approximately 50 to 75 percent of the stems are removed from the overstocked stands while retaining the healthiest trees in a free-to-grow stand condition. Hazardous horizontal and vertical fuel loading resulting from intermingling crowns and stand mortality will be reduced, resulting in resilient, fire-resistant stand conditions and reduced rate of fire spread in the event of a wildfire.
