Wildfire Mitigation
This project consists of a suite of treatments to be implemented throughout the rural and unincorporated communities of Willow Creek, Hawkins Bar, and Salyer in Humboldt and Trinity Counties. This is a collaborative project, with partners from local entities- including a Fire Safe Council, Prescribed Burn Association, a Volunteer Fire Department, and TCRCD- taking lead roles in community outreach and project implementation. Treatment areas were identified as priorities in the Humboldt and Trinity Counties' Community Wildfire Protection Plans. Along with implementation of fuel reduction activities, this project will build internal capacity for long-term land stewardship in these communities.
