Big Work Starts Tomorrow

Large Trees Throughout the Eucalyptus Hill Project

In addition to the ground work treatment that is accomplished through our projects, on many occasions, work will also require us to thin out, limb up and treat larger stands of mature trees. The Eucalyptus Hill Road project is a great example of a project area that has a dense stand of very tall, mature trees that have not been maintained. These Eucalyptus, Pittosporum and Palm trees are all invasive, contribute significantly to the overall fuel load in the area, create ladder fuels and limit the growth of more fire resistant native vegetation.

Over the next few week we will have a crew working through our project area to reduce the overall density of these larger Eucalyptus trees in the area.

It's A Jungle Out There



Before

 We are now two weeks into the Eucalyptus Hill Road project and our crews are making great progress. They have cut nearly 3 acres and are working on pulling that material out from a large canyon area located just off Eucalyptus Hill Road. This area currently poses a significant fire hazard due to the total fuel load comprised of dead vegetation, overgrown/unmaintained vegetation and invasive plants like pittosporum and eucalyptus trees that have taken over the area.

Through this project we will also be targeting the removal of some larger eucalyptus trees. Initial removal of these trees is set to begin Monday, August 27th


Vegetation Being Hauled Out



Eucalyptus Hill Road Project Begins

With the release of our bird nesting season requirements we broke ground this week on the Eucalyptus Hill vegetation management project. This project is expected to run through mid-October. A total of 26 acres is scheduled to be treated. Stay tuned for information and more pictures.
