Summary: This project will focus on reducing the threat to structures in the wildland and improving transportation route safety by treating vegetation near homes and roads by masticating or piling and burning near the communities of Robinson Mill, Hurelton, and Wyandotte. This area has been burned repeatedly in the last two decades resulting in a substantial component of dead material and brushy regrowth that pose a significant threat to the residents in the area. Treatments along strategic ridges will also be considered if there are landowners willing to participate. The vegetation is primarily oak woodland, with scattered stands of ponderosa pine at the upper elevations. This project will complement the Forbestown Fuels Reduction CCI Fire Prevention grant project that was recently awarded to the Butte County Fire Safe Council. What communities or habitats will project protect? This project will protect the communities of Robinson Mill, Hurelton, and Wyandotte.
