Lake County Wildfire Risk Reduction Project - Phase 1

Funding Source:  USDA, Forest Service; Community Wildfire Defense Grant, Bipartisan Infrastructure Act

This Project will reduce fuels and restore fire-adapted ecosystems on private lands and roadways to lessen wildfire risk of damage to property while improving firefighter safety. Project will be accomplished in part by funding a Fuels Team employed by the Northshore Fire Protection District. This Project will implement priority actions in the 2022 updated Lake County Community Wildfire Protection Plan that residents of our county believe will move more of our communities to a fire resilient state.
