HEALTHY, SAFE AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES
Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
The Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District, acting through the Siskiyou Prescribed Burn Association, will broadcast burn approximately 1000 acres by the end of 2028, completing already planned/partially implemented forest health improvement projects throughout Siskiyou County. The implementation of this proposal takes the next step in a series of previous treatment actions to promote forest health and resilience, with the added benefit of reducing the risk of negative wildfire impacts. The initial steps of the project will identify priorities and complete permitting for broadcast burning in the most feasible and strategically beneficial areas available.
