The County of Tuolumne is seeking proposals from qualified individuals to conduct forest fuels reduction projects. Contractors will conduct forest fuel reduction using a suite of treatments such as mastication, hand thinning, chipping and piling, and the creation of fuelbreaks as authorized in the Master Stewardship Agreement (MSA) the County has with the USDA, Forest Service, Stanislaus National Forest on behalf of the Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions (YSS) Collaborative and contained in the Social and Ecological Resilience Across the Landscape (SERAL) Record of Decision. The County has received additional funding to create a contiguous fuelbreak by connecting private land parcels. These fuelbreaks will encompass both federal and private property ownership.
