Cavedale Station Fuel Treatment Area

The Cavedale Station Fuel Treatment Area project, managed by the Sonoma Valley Fire District, aims to reduce hazardous flammable fuels along residential structures and evacuation roadways in California. Located at 4601 Cavedale Road in Glen Ellen, the project focuses on treating approximately 30 acres of overgrown land to mitigate fire risks in a region that has suffered multiple destructive fires. The scope of work includes limiting existing trees and removing understory brush through the use of hand crews, chippers on the roadway, and pile burning where appropriate. This initiative is intended to serve as a model for future fuel treatment efforts in the area. The project is identified by document number 25-0821-01 and is classified under NAICS code 561730. For environmental compliance, the project is filed under categorical exemption 15304 for minor alteration to the land, with official filing and fee receipts processed through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Mason Lewis, the Vegetation Management Officer, serves as the primary point of contact for the Sonoma Valley Fire District. While the project is listed as a forecast with a posted date of October 9, 2025, specific contract values, pricing schedules, and performance periods are not provided in the available documentation.
