Big changes are happening on the north end of Yreka! This fall, implementation began on the Osgood Fuel Break Project. This project is designed to extend the previously completed Yreka Ridge Fuel Break. Once completed, almost 900 contiguous acres of fuel reduction work will protect the north edge of Yreka by reducing the risk of high severity wildfire reaching homes and infrastructure within the city.

The Shasta Valley RCD is proud to manage this project, and we appreciate the CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit and City of Yreka for their support and collaboration, as well as local contractors J. Cota Forestry and CLT Logging, Inc. for their work. Special thanks to Pure Siskiyou for putting together this video!
