Title

Giant Sequoia National Monument Restoration and Stewardship Phase Two (SNC 1666)

Description

The Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) would provide funding to the Save the Redwoods League to implement project #1666 Giant Sequoia National Monument Restoration and Stewardship Phase Two in partnership with Sequoia National Forest. The project will reduce hazardous fuels loads on approximately 1,462 acres to protect monarch giant sequoias, restore fire and drought resistance, promote reforestation in areas that previously burned, prepare for more regular use of prescribed fire, and to improve habitat complexity across the area. Activities include, but are not limited to: manual and mechanical fuels reduction; biomass removal; broadcast burning, pile burning, and air curtain burning where feasible; road maintenance, as needed, to safely access treatment areas and minimize impacts from road use. The proposed project is part of the larger (approximately 40,000 acre) Castle Fire Ecological Restoration Project planned by the Sequoia National Forest.
