Sugarberry Project
The United States Department of Agriculture, U.S. Forest Service, Plumas National Forest, Feather River Ranger District proposes to protect rural communities from fire hazards by constructing fuel breaks known as Defensible Fuel Profile Zones (DFPZs); implementing group selection harvest methods to create a fire-resilient healthy forest ecosystem; implementing individual tree selection harvests to restore stand densities more characteristic of past natural fire regimes; performing associated road system improvement work; and carrying out a range of aquatic, native plant, and wildlife habitat improvement activities on forested federal land near La Porte, Strawberry Valley, American House and Clipper Mills, California.
