Vegetation Managment Kicks off The Year

The Wildland Fire Suppression Benefit Assessment District has been busy working with homeowners in an effort to increase fire safety throughout the district. We kicked off this year’s vegetation management program through the project area identified in the Wildland Fire Plan as being part of the Community Fuels Treatment Network. This first project is located in a large narrow strip located at the upper limits of the City Limits and located within the Extreme Foothill High Fire Hazard area.

We will be working with private property owners, CAL FIRE/Ventura hand crews and Peterson's Tree Care for chipping services over the next 2 months while we complete the project.

We will be posting pictures noting our progress here on our blog.

'Before' and 'After' crews performed vegetation removal. this past week.
