Forest Health Grant Update

April 2026

Status Update

South Branch Update:

Operations picked back up to full capacity in March. Denali Tree Service is on-site and making great progress in a short amount of time with over 30 acres completed in March. Even with the dense vegetation and warm weather, the crew is doing an excellent job and keeping work moving smoothly and efficiently.

Guadalupe Update:

Work at Guadalupe is set to kick off in mid April, 2026 and will continue as long as the cooler weather holds. The crews will be keeping a close eye on temperatures to make sure everything stays safe and on track, especially as things start to warm up.

To implement forest health treatments on approximately 1778 acres of strategically identified areas, The Santa Clara County Firesafe Council has partnered with the San Jose Water Company, Santa Clara County Parks, Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District and smaller, private landowners, to form the Los Gatos Creek Watershed Collaboration.

The Los Gatos Creek Watershed Collaborative Forest Health Grant is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment — particularly in disadvantaged communities.
