It's that time of year! Christmas tree permits for the Mendocino NF will be available for purchase starting Thursday, Nov. 1. Plan now for your tree cutting trip to the forest. As a reminder, the Ranch Fire area remains closed.
Ranch Fire Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) reports are available here. The BAER team provided information about the potential for future flooding, erosion and debris flows and made recommendations for emergency stabilization activities that need to occur in the first year after the fire.
