Calaveras County RCD’s Forest Health Program was developed to address landscape level disadvantages, fuel load inconsistencies, vegetation concerns, and devastating wildfire impacts on public and private lands in Calaveras County. Forest Health Program staff focuses on project development, implementation, prioritization, planning, and securing grant funds to carry out fuel reduction projects, forest health projects, maintenance work, and to provide technical services.

 

Technical services include:

• Defensible Space Assessments
• Post Fire Recovery Evaluations

 

Forest Health Program Goals:

• Improve forest resiliency and ecological health
• Increase protection from wildfires to people, land, water, and wildlife
• Expand access for fire suppression resources
