Document Description
CAL FIRE would provide funding to the Mid-Klamath Watershed Council to manually remove non-native invasive plants along roadways and previously disturbed areas (e.g., landings, skid roads) that are typically less than an acre in size within Six Rivers and Klamath National Forest lands. These treatments will reduce wildfire risks to local resources and community members, promote native plant and wildlife species, and improve forest resiliency.
