Document Description
The Small-Parcel Mechanical Fuel Treatment Utilization Demonstration project involves the removal of hazardous fuel in the form of shrubs and small trees (12 inches and less in diameter at breast height (DBH)) within treatment areas ranging from 1 to 9 acres on 16 parcels that range in size from 2.4 to 55 acres. Cooperating landowners volunteered the use of their parcels for the demonstration. Approxiamtely 53 total acres will be treated in Butte, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra and Yuba Counties. This is a research and educational demonstration project focusing on hazardous fuel reduction small parcels in wildland urban interface. All work will be accomplished using a small, tracked skid steer with hydraulic shears and a masticating attachment. Those trees between 5-10 inches DBH will be milled on site to demonstrate the potential for utilization of small coniferous trees for lumber. The milled lumber will not be sold or bartered.
