Concow 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 that present a safety hazard and risk to forest visitors, neighboring landowners and their homes, employees, and facilities.

Location

Nearby the community of Concow, CA. Areas along Concow Road and Rim Road were burned severely in the Camp Fire (November 8-25, 2018). Elevations 2800-3200 feet.
