Document Description
The City of Redding Police Department, Fire Department, and Code Enforcement Department will conduct a citywide fire fuels reduction and trash clean-up project. The purpose of the project is to protect the health and safety of the public and to protect and restore ecosystems on natural lands to provide climate change adaptation and resilience for wildlife. The initial industrial scale effort will require the use of small mechanized equipment to remove furniture, mattresses, appliances, and other illegal dumped debris. The second step involves hazardous vegetation reduction activity to lower the potential for fire in the wildland-urban interface. The activity will involve under story thinning and tree trimming to create and maintain shaded fuel breaks. Hazardous vegetation, including dead trees and invasive species will be removed.
