Project Info

Title

North Bay Forest Improvement Program - Ratcliff

Description

Approximately 8.0 acres are to be treated. *Project objective is to compliment a recently developed and adjacent a shaded fuel break, to protect residence, and provide a defensible fire line and staging area for emergency personnel. * Low slopes and stable soils make the site suitable for mastication equipment. Mastication treatment will target suppressed trees less than or equal to 8 inches diameter at breast height (DBH), along with dense brush and ladder fuels. Cutting and mastication shall occur simultaneously, with residues mulched to a depth no greater than 4 inches and kept away from the boles of residual trees. Larger trees may be removed where doing so supports treatment objectives and the development of desired stand structure.
