The McKinley Scott Fuel Reduction Project is a cross boundary fuel reduction project that will treat over 2,000 acres of forest in the Scott Bar Mountains. The unique partnership includes the Klamath National Forest, Michigan-California Timber Company, Acer Klamath Forest LLC, Oregon State University, and Siskiyou County, SVRCD. The project will reduce fuels on a strategic ridgeline on the lands…

The intent of this project is to create a fuel break along Interstate 5 on Caltrans land to decrease fire danger to the Dunsmuir and Mount Shasta Communities

This project is located in the Upper Sacramento Watershed west of Interstate-5 in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) west of the City of Mount Shasta to the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. It consists of vegetation treatments that will reduce wildfire risks to both the community and forest lands, increase forest resiliency, and enhance wildlife habitat. 

This strategic ridge fuel break will help protect the towns of Yreka and Hawkinsville from wildfires by reducing fire behavior and aiding fire suppression efforts. The project will reduce hazardous fuels on over 200 acres of private property between Humbug Road and Long Gulch Road north of Yreka.

SVRCD is partnering with the Klamath National Forest and CalFire to manage Craggy Good Neighbor Authority Project. The project will thin forests on the Klamath National Forest west of Yreka to restore historic forest conditions. This is the first Good Neighbor Authority project in the State of California to commericially harvest timber.

The Shasta Valley RCD is implementing a project funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to restore meadow habitat at Elk Flat, Mud, and Bitterbrush meadows in the McCloud Flats area on the Shasta Trinity National Forest.
