What you’ll see:

  • Boundary Marking:

    • Yellow flagging – station markers
      (Final boundaries will be GPS mapped to avoid trespass on private land)
  • Field Assessments:
    • Solid red and red-white candy-stripe flagging – marking wildfire threat, silviculture, species at risk, cultural and heritage sites, etc.
  • Treatment Goals:
    • Reduce severe wildfire risk
    • Remove dead/dying trees (standing & fallen)
    • Thin and prune healthy trees for an open forest condition
    • Clear brush, ladder fuels, and surface fuels while keeping desirable vegetation
