Title

King Fire Restoration Project

Description

The Sierra Nevada Conservancy will provide funding to the U.S. Forest Service, Eldorado National Forest, to complete forest fuel reduction activities in areas affected by the 2014 King Fire. This project will include forest fuel reduction, including the management of shrubs and dead trees. Project treatments will involve initial fuel reduction activities on approximately 1,810 acres, including skidding and piling of large material and mastication or piling of small material. The secondary treatments on these acres will include shrub control on 1,515 acres and biomass removal on 251 acres. These activities will reduce the risk of high-severity wildfire and support forest restoration on the Eldorado National Forest, promoting forest health and resiliency during future wildfire events.
