Annually, fire managers implement prescribed fire projects on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. This seven page listing briefly summarizes some of the prescribed fire projects in the fire management program.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, is in the process of replacing Antlers Bridge on Interstate 5 in Shasta County over the Sacramento River arm of Shasta Lake near the community of Lakehead. The bridge is at or near the end of its service life. In addition, a 0.4 mile section of highway south of the bridge will be realigned due to a high accident rate. Traffic will remain on the existing bridge during construction of a new bridge on a parallel alignment. New right of way will be required. During the five-year construction, there will be some inconvenience to recreational activities and traffic. However, Antlers Boat Ramp will remain open and lake access through the construction zone will be maintained.
Although growing marijuana on public lands is illegal, hidden marijuana grow sites are becoming more common. Years ago, marijuana was illegally planted on small patches of national forest.
Today, marijuana production on national forest lands poses substantial risks to employees, the public, and the environment. Many of the marijuana operations on public lands are associated with organized crime.

Whiskeytown, Shasta and Trinity Lakes National Recreation Area Boater Alert
Quagga and zebra mussels are a threat to our area and are now close by! The Colorado River system and many lakes in southern California have recently become infested. Since invading the U.S. in 1989, Quagga and Zebra mussels have become a 5 billion dollar maintenance and damage problem east of the Rockies.
They have altered fish and aquatic ecosystems, have caused extensive damage to boats, marinas, and water intake facilities, and will undoubtedly hurt us locally if they become established here.
