View of St Mary's Project

This is a snap-shot of the project area from across the drainage. (The lower half of the project area is not in view due to a small hill).

The area in the red is the portion of the project area that is within camera view. I have shadded the progress as it stands 01-28-2009. They are right on target to finish by March.

Making progress at St. Mary's

Just in time for the rain our crews were able to get a good start on the new project area. Below are some quick photos of the intial area they started on. I estimate about 3 acres have been cleared so far.

Skofield Park

Photos from work completed at Van's Meadow this past week.

Last Thursday we started the second vegetation management project in the Assessment District. This project encompasses an area of Skofield Park entitled "Van's Meadow". Work is being completed by the Cal Fire crews out of the Ventura camp. While areas of this project were within the Tea Fire burn area, crews still have there work cut out for them. The scope of the project involves removal of 30-60% of dead, decadent, and exotic vegetation. Chipping crews are assisting with the project and 100% of the usable chips will be broadcast back on site.

This project rounds out the completion of the Eastern most section of the Community Fuels Treatment Network. Future projects are slated for the San Roque/Ontare area.
