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.
Moving Toward Resiliency within the Mokelumne to Kings Landscape (MOTOR M2K)
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. Learn more about MOTOR M2K.
