Mendocino National Forest — Project Detail

Replacement of current 12' diameter culvert which is starting to fail. The structure will also be aquatic organism passable.

The Project would treat approximately 1,073 acres through a combination of fuels reduction, green tree thinning, and reforestation activities that would restore forest structure and function while reducing the impacts and losses due to uncontrolled wildfire.

The Mendocino National Forest is proposing a land exchange in the eastern portion of Mendocino County just west of Forest Highway 7 and Mendocino Pass. The Forest Service would acquire 561.66 acres of private land from the McIsaac Ranch and would transfer 560 acres of National Forest System lands.

The purpose of this project is to reduce the extent and spread of invasive plant infestations that threaten wildland values in a timely and cost-effective manner, while protecting human health and ecosystem functions.

The purpose is to improve the health of residual forest stands by thinning and burning dense plantations to make them more resilient to disturbances such as insect, disease, and wildfire.
