HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, HABITATS AND SPECIES
Conserve, Enhance and Restore Watersheds and Ecosystems that Support Biological Diversity
The Project will design forest health treatments on property owned by The Wildlands Conservancy. The 6,000 acre reserve is located in the East Fork Scott River watershed, a critically important salmonid spawning and rearing river. The treatment types include a shaded fuelbreak and ecological restoration, thinning drought impacted and overly dense conifer stands. Treatment activities include thinning, prescribed fire, pile burn, mechanical and hand treatment in a very high fire severity area by Cal Fire. Benefits will include enhanced forest health, decreased fire risk, increased carbon storage, and the creation of employment opportunities within our economically disadvantaged community.
