Title

Post Scenic Fire Resilliency NOE

Description

The Park District proposes to expand the fuels reduction project at Carquinez Strait. The project area is 4 acres, split between a 2.3-acre western section and a 1.7-acre eastern section. The project would remove approximately 4 acres of eucalyptus trees, at a density of approximately 20 trees per acre. The majority of trees are multi-stemmed: multiple stems originating from one common stump/root system at ground level. Approximately 60% of the stems are under 12” diameter at breast height (dbh), thirty percent are 12-24” dbh, and ten percent above 24” dbh. For the purpose of this proposal, “trees” is defined as originating from one common stump/root system and stems are defined as trunks diameter at breast height (DBH) greater than 6 inches diameter. No native trees would be removed. The project area would then be restored with a suite of oak woodland, grassland / forbland, and ephemeral riparian species.. The bulk of the restoration activities would occur after the removal of the eucalyptus, with at least one more year of intensive monitoring and maintenance to ensure restoration success. Future restoration will be conducted as funds become available.
