Document Description
This project will create a 58-acre shaded fuel break removing approximately 580 tons of woody biomass. 39 acres are located along the southern boundary of the property, from a newly acquired property on Old Mill Road to Huston Creek on the eastern side of the camp, and 19 acres on the northern boundary, extending the length of Pine Ridge Road. Once completed, the project will aid in the protection of approximately 7500 habitable structures within the mixed conifer forests of the Crestline area. The fuel reduction operations will include removal of ladder fuels through mastication and hand cutting. Fuels cut by hand will be treated using a chipper.
