FUELS REDUCTION

A century of fire suppression and decades of clear-cut logging have led to dense forests with a very high risk of catastrophic wildfire. Healthy forests need low-intensity fires to be maintained. These fuel reduction projects help minimize the intensity of wildfires and recreate proper ecosystems.

FUELS REDUCTION PROJECTS:

• Thin and limb trees around homesteads

• Remove hazardous trees along roadways

• Create fuel breaks

• Thin encroching conifers

PARTNERS HAVE INCLDUED:

• Private landowners

• Communities

• State Fish and Game Dept.

• US Forest Service

• BLM
