Caltrans District 8 – Vegetation Management Program – Contract 3 Fuels Management

Caltrans District 8 proposes to conduct vegetation management activities within State right-way areas to reduce wildfire ignition risk, establish and maintain roadside fuel breaks, and ensure safe and reliable access for the traveling public and emergency responders. Proposed activities include clearing vegetation within designated management strips, removing invasive species and other flash fuels, and selectively thinning vegetation. These activities are intended to reduce the potential for wildfire ignition and spread, improve roadside fuel conditions, and promote the resilience, health, and conservation of native plant communities.
