Community Protection Concept

Plumas National Forest Butte; Lassen; Plumas; Yuba, California Plumas National Forest All Units

We propose to reduce risk of wildfire impacts to communities and critical infrastructure, improve ingress and egress to communities, and reduce the potential for extreme fire behavior in the wildland urban interface through an all-lands approach.

Location

The projects are concentrated on a number of communities across the Forest with moderate to very-high risk: Eastside Communities, Greater American Valley, Greater Mohawk Valley, West Slope Communities
