Caldor Forest and Community Restortation Project
Project Overview
Basics
Implementation
The project plans are to address the overarching effects of the Caldor Fire by performing the following actions: 1) outreach and education to NIPF owners regarding restoration opportunities, 2) site assessment of fire damaged NIPFs, 3) preparation of management plans and reforestation prescriptions of private land, 4) fuel reduction activities including the removal of dead trees not utilized for salvage and other debris created by the fire and disposal through appropriate means, 5)additional site prep as needed to ready the properties for planting, 6) planting with species appropriate to the sites, and 7) monitoring planting to assess survival and filing of post-project stocking reports.

Project Themes
The Caldor EFRT, in consultation with partners in the fire area, will assess NIPF to evaluate post forest fire recovery needs. These needs often include
removal of excess woody debris burned by the fire to ensure long term fire fuels are reduced; reforestation to restore forests for multiple benefits; controlling excess regrowing native and invasive vegetations; and
Following assessment of post fire forest conditions, the Caldor EFRT will provide forestry technical assistance to landowners and implement
necessary forest recovery work.
