Document Description
This project consists of a three-phase approach to improving the fire safety of an urbanizing area of eastern Sonoma County. All work will be done by hand crews using hand tools. Phase One is a shaded fuel break along a 2-mile segment of Trinity Rd. to establish a defensible ingress/egress corridor in the mountainous area east of the community of Glen Ellen. The shaded fuelbreak will extend approx. 30 feet on both sides of the road, encompassing a total area of approx. 14.5 acres.. Vegetation up to 10 inches diameter at breast height (dbh), measured at 4.5 feet above the ground, may be removed.
