Status Update
Steady work through January 2024 by vegetation treatment crews has resulted in nearly 30 more acres completed on SJW and SCCP properties. Due to rainy weather and saturated soils February vegetation treatment has been paused for safety and integrity of the project work site. We greatly appreciate the cooperation of neighbors and community members on this project.
We are kicking off the Second Forest Health Grant, known as the "Second Collaboration". Work, for now, is of the planning variety as we determine the appropriate permitting, refine our project maps and scope of the project. There are 841 acres of vegetation treatments identified over the next 4 years. Our partners for the Second Collaboration are Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, San Jose Water Company, Aldercroft Heights Firewise Community and Lupin Lodge.
We are very excited to be working on both Forest Health Grants this year! We have updated our website and flyer accordingly and you can view that here.
Senior Project Manager, Stephen Harrington, will be speaking at an upcoming webinar on March 14th at 9am for the CAL POLY Fuels Management Training Program. This webinar is an opportunity to learn how to create successful partnerships and collaborations on forest health projects with insights and experiences from the Los Gatos Creek Watershed Collaborative.
