Magalia Fire Salvage Project

Plumas National Forest Butte, California Feather River Ranger District

Tree mortality is occurring in areas of high and mixed fire severity. We propose to log dead and dying trees where they present a safety hazard and risk to forest visitors, neighboring landowners and their homes, employees, and facilities.

Location

East of the community of Magalia, CA. Areas along Coutolenc Road and Lucretia Road and around Paradise Lake area were burned severely in the Camp Fire (November 8-25, 2018). Elevations 1900-2700 feet.
