Forest Supervisor Jason Kuiken believes there is nothing more critical to maintaining good relationships than communication. Residents, communities and ranger districts share a dedication to keeping the forest healthy, but sometimes Forest Service procedures and actions may not be clearly understood by those outside the agency. Jason is committed to engaging the community by sharing information about some of the actions being undertaken on the forest. Jason will post a series of notes highlighting some of the vital activities that go into regaining a healthy forest. Read Jason's notes.
A Public Safety Power Shutoff may affect your next trip to the Stanislaus National Forest!
In May 2019, Pacific Gas & Electric Company announced its plan to shutoff, and later restore, power if necessary due to extreme weather and wildfire danger. Sometime during the fire season, your planned visit to the Stanislaus National Forest may be impacted if your visit coincides with a PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff. Learn more about preparing for your forest visit during a power shutoff.
Forests of the Sierra Nevada range have experienced one of the largest tree mortality events in recent history, and the greatest concentrations of tree mortality have been in areas that are the most departed from the fire regimes under which they evolved. With MOTOR M2K we are working toward a vegetation management framework across frequent fire-adapted stands of the Stanislaus and Sierra National Forests – focusing primarily, but not exclusively, on stands below 7,000 feet in elevation.
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that describes a proposal for about 48,000 acres of treatments within the 2013 Rim Fire is available.
