The purpose of the Pine Cove and Strawberry Fuelbreak Maintenance project is to maintain pre-established district fuelbreaks by reducing forest fuels and obtaining horizontal and vertical fuel separation in treatment units through brush and ladder fuel removal, pruning, and green tree thinning on 266 mandatory acres within the project area. Firelines will be constructed around each unit and cut material will be lopped, scattered, or piled (where beneficial) to facilitate later broadcast burning of treatment units not required as part of this scope of work.
