Overview

Basics

Basics
Reduce hazardous fire fuels and implement prescribed fire within wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas of Burton Creek State Park (SP), Sugar Pine Point SP, and Emerald Bay SP. Forest fuel reduction project work will include forest thinning with hand crews, chipping (and removal of wood chips), stacking burn piles, pile burning and/or understory burning. Project will treat a minimum of 200 acres, up to a maximum of 354 acres in: Burton Creek SP (up to 88 acres), Sugar Pine Point SP (up to 196 acres), and Emerald Bay SP (up to 70 acres). The State Parks crew will be funded by both LTRA funds, and matching funds provided by State Parks.
