Lower Deer Creek Penn Valley Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project

planned

The project involves targeted fuel reduction treatments in select locations around Lake Wildwood, Penn Valley, and Rough and Ready to reduce hazardous fuels along critical transportation routes for residential evacuation and emergency access. Activities include removal of ground and ladder fuels, thinning of trees and brush, removal of dead and dying trees under 14 inches DBH, and herbicide application to control regrowth. The project aims to improve forest health, vegetation management, and reduce fire threats in Wildland Urban Interface areas.
