Document Description
The Trinity County Resource Conservation District (the District) plans to use various funding sources, including CAL FIRE grant funds, to assist the United States Forest Service (USFS) in implementing the Parks Trinity Fuelbreak Project in Northern Trinity County, CA and into Siskiyou County, CA. This project is an integral part of the District’s landscape strategy aimed at protecting Trinity County communities from future catastrophic wildfire events, returning the county’s forests to a healthy condition, and reintroducing good fire to the landscape. Fuel Reduction treatments will be strategically implemented in overstocked stands and those suffering from mortality from a combination of drought, excessive tree density, and insect infestation. This project is focused along Parks Creek Rd. The project will be implemented on land managed by the United States Forest Service and includes treatments on up to 1,910 acres over 5 years, followed by maintenance with similar treatment types. A comprehensive suite of resource protection measures will apply and are detailed in Appendix A of the Decision Memo.
