Title

Protecting Highway 108’s Communities, Economies, and Watersheds (SNC1837)

Description

Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) is providing funding to Tuolumne County to partner with the Stanislaus National Forest to implement between 280 and 406 acres of fuel breaks in eastern Tuolumne County to protect nearby communities and infrastructure from wildfire. Treatments will consist of roadside thinning reducing ground and ladder fuels up to 12 inches in diameter. Treatments will be a combination of mechanical mastication, hand-thinning, and pruning. The fuel breaks installed with this project will allow access for fire-suppression activities and reduce the spread of catastrophic wildfire events, but will also act as key anchor points for future forest-management activities. The project is part of the larger Social and Ecological Resilience Across the Landscape (SERAL) 2.0 landscape-level plan developed by the Stanislaus National Forest in partnership with the local collaborative, Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions.
