Document Description
The overall objective of this project is to begin the process of reversing the ecological, economic, environmental, aesthetic and social impacts of the King Fire, Specific objectives include: 1) treat private lands affected by the King Fire to reduce the potential for wild fire in the future by removing accumulated debris and dead trees; 2) do site preparation and planting to reestablish forest cover on the private lands; 3) increase potential carbon sequestration and achieve GHGe reduction through the reforestation of the burned area; and 4) utilize the project as an education opportunity for informing others about community response to wild fire. This project is funded by a grant from the CALFIRE GHG reduction fund.
