There is a significant buildup of hazardous fuel on NFS lands nearby three residences. We propose to do some hand-thinning and piling of trees and brush around the residences. The intent is to give more fire clearance and make the area look better.
Location
120 acre parcel south of Stephens Ridge. The NFS land bounds 3 private residences on their south and eastern property lines and they are bounded west to north by Oroville Quincy Highway.
