Auburn Lake Trails Northern Shaded Fuel Break Project

The Auburn Lake Trails Northern Shaded Fuel Break Project targets approximately 350 acres of private, non-industrial land situated near the Middle Fork of the American River and the Auburn Lake Trails community, within California’s Wildland-Urban Interface. The initiative aims to strategically reduce hazardous vegetation to mitigate the risk of catastrophic wildfires, enhancing community safety and ecosystem resilience. This effort is designed to align with and complement ongoing fuel treatment work on roughly 226 acres of adjacent public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, creating a more cohesive and effective fire prevention landscape across jurisdictional boundaries. The project is led by the El Dorado County Resource Conservation District under the oversight of the California state agency. All project activities will occur within zip code 95667 in California, with the District Manager Mark Egbert serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. The initiative was posted as a forecast on August 5, 2025, indicating its current phase is in planning or pre-solicitation, with no formal solicitation number assigned yet. While detailed procurement specifics are not yet available, the project reflects a collaborative, landscape-scale approach to wildfire risk reduction, integrating private and public land management priorities.
