West Marin Zone Blueberry Ridge Fuel Reduction Project

The purpose of the proposed project is to expand and maintain a fuel reduction zone along the perimeter of the community of Woodacre. The proposed project would improve vegetation clearance along the ridgetop fire road adjacent to the community of Woodacre to provide better access for first responders and emergency vehicles and extend evacuation times for the community, and slow fire intensity. The proposed project would also improve access by reducing heat, flame, ember, and smoke impingement on the fire road for emergency responders in the event of an approaching wildfire. Treatments in the fuel reduction zone would improve forest stand spacing and reduce the presence of non-native, invasive species.
