Document Description
The California Department of Parks and Recreation (California State Parks) proposes to implement vegetation treatments and maintenance treatments on up to 9,977.25 acres of land within the eastern and inland portion of Big Basin Redwoods State Park in Santa Cruz and San Mateo Counties. California State Parks has prepared a Project-Specific Analysis and CEQA Addendum to evaluate if the proposed project is within the scope of the California Vegetation Treatment Program EIR (CalVTP PEIR), consider revisions or changes to the PEIR that would expand its coverage to include all project areas, and provide environmental information on the proposed project. Treatment types include ecological restoration. Treatment activities include prescribed burning, manual, mechanical, and targeted herbicide application treatments. The goal of the ecologically restorative treatments proposed in this PSA/Addendum is to maintain habitat function for wildlife, including special-status species and sensitive natural communities, to re-establish inherent resilience of the ecosystem processes and natural disturbance regimes, relative to modern anthropogenic and climatic influences, through reintroducing natural processes. The Inland Big Basin Redwoods State Park Forest Health and Resilience Project PSA/Addendum to the PEIR was prepared for the project as a later activity covered by the CalVTP PEIR.
