Project Description

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Mother Lode Field Office is proposing the Round Mountain Landscape Resilience Project (Proposed Action or Project), in Nevada County, California (Attachment A, Figure 1).  The Proposed Action consists of vegetation treatment on up to 1,032 acres within the Project area. A combination of commercial thinning, pre-commercial thinning, and fuels treatments such as manual removal, mechanical removal (e.g., mastication), prescribed fire, and targeted grazing would be utilized to achieve the desired ecological conditions. Treatments would include understory fuels reduction, stand thinning, fuel-break construction, and ecological restoration.  Implementation of these management actions is expected to begin in 2023 and extend over a period of 5 years or more. The project is a partnership between BLM, Yuba Watershed Institute (YWI), and Bear Yuba Land Trust (BYLT).
