Project Updates for Forest Health Grant Second Collaboration
We recently awarded a contract to Denali Tree Service for the Lupin Lodge and Aldercroft Heights Project within the Forest Health Grant. We are hoping to start operations in late November. The Aldercroft FireWise Treatments cover 25.0 acres, while the Lupin Lodge Treatment covers 11.0 acres.
We held a community meeting for the Aldercroft Heights and Lupin Lodge project. The Aldercroft Heights and Lupin Lodge Project Community Meeting, held on October 29, 2024, covered several key topics. After introductions, attendees were briefed on a new grant and shown a map of the project area. The Forest Health Program was discussed, emphasizing its objectives and community benefits. The Santa Clara County FireSafe Council presented the project details, including acreage, followed by operational insights. The discussion also addressed biomass management, road conditions, work hours, and equipment. Logistics for Aldercroft Heights and Lupin Lodge, including parking, were reviewed. The meeting concluded with a Q&A and a summary of next steps and follow-up actions.
