Peterson's Crew Gets Started.

Dense chaparral within the project area.

After more than a month of delay due to the events associated with the Tea Fire, Peterson's crews are back up and running. They started on what is left of the project area today. They initially were abel to complete nearly 1.5 acres of the project before the fire and have 5 acres remaining to be complete.

Once finished the Eastern side of the Community Fuels Treatment Network will be complete and in line for future maintainence. We are in the process of developing our next project area plans which will include areas on the Norther border of the City limits above Ontare, San Roque and Santa Teresita.

St. Mary's Vegetation Management Revised

Due to the delays that have occured since the Tea Fire, we have revised the current Vegetation Management project, located around the St. Mary Seminary, to incompass areas of the project that were left unburned. Nearly 15 acres were within the Tea Fire burn area leaving Peterson's crews just over 5 acres to complete.


We are making the proper adjustments and hope to get them started again before the first of the year. The map shows the remaining project area that was not burned in yellow. The rest of the area was within the Tea Fire Burn.

Some pictures of the project area are below.

Road Clearance Continues

After short delay due to areas affected by the Tea Fire, we have started up our Road Clearance project in efforts to complete the project by next week.

Crews finished clearance on El Cielito on Tuesday and will pick back up on Las Canoas for Friday. They will be working from the Rattlesnake Trailhead towards the City Limits.

Sections of APS from Garcia to Los Olivos and APS from 5-points Round-A-Bout to Guiterrez St, as well as portions of Foothill Road (within City Limits), will round out the project completion next week.
