The Project will restore post fire habitat on approximately 42.4 acres total within two separate project areas near Willow Creek to remove hazardous vegetation. These project areas are filed under CALFIRE Exemptions (either Emergency Notice, Structure Protection 0-150 or Structure Protection 150-300) that follow the California Forest Practice Rules. Commercial harvest activities will occur. All merchantable timber will be marked with spray paint or other methods by a Registered Professional Forester (RPF). An LTO-A license is required to complete this work and the LTO-A license will be recorded on the CALFIRE exemption. Mechanical and manual treatments may be used. At the LTO-A’s discretion, manual crews may be hired as subcontractors under the LTO-A. The objectives of this Project are to: 1. Significantly reduce hazardous vegetation from within the Knob 2021 wildfire footprint. 2. Increase overall forest health and resilience within local communities.
