Project Description

Between 2020 and 2026, the Applegate Field Office (AGFO) completed approximately 431 acres of mastication and 287 acres of hand treatments adjacent to the proposed project. As such, the AGFO is proposing to continue a series of treatments aimed at reducing hazardous fuels adjacent to the wildland urban interface (WUI) on approximately 1,361 acres of public land located near the community of Fall River Mills, California. Work would begin in the fall of 2026 and be completed by the fall of 2030 using contract personnel.
