HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, HABITATS AND SPECIES
Conserve, Enhance and Restore Watersheds and Ecosystems that Support Biological Diversity
This project involves initial treatment for juniper removal and maintenance of areas with past juniper removal. Encroaching juniper will be removed from key areas around the community of Lake Shastina and the Shasta River watershed. Through this removal and utilizing the cut woody material for biomass, the project will support local jobs, promote a wildfire resilient community, improve water infiltration, and prevent excess evapotranspiration. In areas with past juniper removal treatment, prescribed burns will be utilized to prevent new juniper seedlings from re-establishing. The project will treat 1,154 acres; 906 acres of juniper removal, and 248 acres of maintenance prescribed burning.
