Indian Valley WUI Fuels Reduction Project was developed as part of Firesafe Sierra County’s efforts to reduce hazardous fuel conditions surrounding at risk communities.

 

Treatment Overview:

The proposed project will treat 50 +/- acres utilizing both mechanical and hand treatments.

 

Scope of Work:

The project will be understory thinning of a natural forest stand. These stands were harvested in 2010 which left a stand of overstory of large conifers and understory trees and brush. The treatment unit are currently overstocked with trees and heavy brush. Thinning of these units will release the leave trees, improve the overall vigor and health of the resulting environment.

Work will take place on the private property located in Indian Valley in western Sierra County; Sections 16 and 17, Township 19N, Range 09E; MDBM. The work area will only be on his property south of the North Fork Yuba River.
