Greenhorn Fire-Adapted Forest Restoration Project

Solicitation # GreenhornFireAdaptNOE_06

The Greenhorn Fire-Adapted Forest Restoration Project is a local vegetation management initiative led by the City of Yreka, California, aimed at reducing hazardous fuels around Greenhorn Reservoir through mechanical and hand treatment of dead and dying vegetation. The project involves the removal of biomass from designated areas identified by APNs, followed by off-site processing using the City’s Air Curtain Burner, and culminates in prescribed fire operations to conduct pile and broadcast burns of treated material. All work is designed to enhance forest resilience and mitigate wildfire risk while protecting water supply infrastructure and surrounding resources. The project is categorically exempt under CEQA Section 15301(h) as it constitutes maintenance of an existing facility, and compliance with state environmental statutes including Public Resources Code Sections 21083, 21110, 21108, 21152, and 21152.1 is required. Mitigation measures include preconstruction site reviews, flagging of biological and cultural resources, and establishment of avoidance buffers to safeguard sensitive areas.

Social and Ecological Resiliency Across the Landscape (SERAL)The SERAL project aims to enhance forest resilience and reduce wildfire risk across approximately 118,000 acres in Tuolumne County by implementing fuel reduction treatments on both public and private lands within the Tuolumne and Stanislaus River Watersheds. Contractors will employ a suite of techniques including mechanical thinning, mastication, hand crews, chipping, prescribed fire, and biomass utilization, supplemented by reforestation where necessary, to restore vegetation to its natural range of variation. Work will occur simultaneously across multiple designated areas over a five-year period, with each zone adhering to tailored best management practices that consider local ecological conditions. Prior to any activity, comprehensive biological and cultural resource surveys will be conducted, and sensitive areas such as streams and wetlands will be clearly marked for avoidance to protect environmental integrity. While some treatment zones may be visible from public roads, there are no designated scenic highways in the county, minimizing visual impact concerns. The overarching goal is to reduce hazardous fuel loads and promote forest structures better adapted to natural disturbance regimes, thereby increasing resilience to wildfires, insect outbreaks, disease, drought, and climate change impacts. The project is administered by Tuolumne County with primary contact information provided by the Senior Management Analyst for Forest Health Project, and the initiative is forecasted to be active beginning in July 2026.
