Title

Bullskin Ridge Fuel Break (SNC #1528)

Description

The Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) will provide funding to implement a shaded fuelbreak to protect the Oak Run community on Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI) and other private timberlands. The purpose of the proposed project is to utilize biomass thinning, mastication, sawlog harvest, and pruning of leave trees to create a shaded fuelbreak along Bullskin Ridge. Bullskin Ridge is a major ridge to the north of the community of Oak Run and would provide a key anchor point to protect the community of Oak Run, the Oak Run Creek watershed, and many homes on either side of the ridge. The total acreage for the fuebreak is approximately 300: 178 acres on SPI lands and 122 acres on other private, non-industrial timberlands. Herbicide treatment will only be implemented on SPI property. Follow-up mastication will be utilized in lieu of herbicides for the private, non-industrial timberlands.
