LaPorte Road Community Fuel Reduction Project
Complete this form to sign up for fuel reduction assistance through the Plumas County Fire Safe Council and/or receive updates about the project.
The Plumas County Fire Safe Council has three important policy considerations related to the hazard fuel reduction assistance program.
1. The goal of a community hazardous fuel reduction project is to treat surface, ladder and crown fuel to create a fire resilient forest to protect life, property and natural resources.
The treatment goal is not to perform a commercial timber harvest for silvicultural reasons to enhance forest growth, although that can be a beneficial result, or to maximize landowner economic gain.
2. The PCFSC requires that landowners contribute a minimum match of 5% (these can be actual dollars or in-kind contribution in the form of labor or wood fiber value) to the total cost of the project.
3. The council has established a maximum cost share schedule.
