Clinton Landscape Level Fire Mitigation

This project will help to reduce the wildfire hazard on identified high priority areas within the Clinton Community Forest, adjacent to Clinton and surrounding rural developments. Project activities include planning, mapping, prescription development and initial treatments. Wildfire risk will be reduced through standard fuel management practices such as thinning, pruning, removal of unhealthy trees, understory burning, and encouragement of deciduous tree growth. The approach will also utilize an existing fireguard from the Elephant Hill wildfire as a control point wherever possible.
