Tuolumne County Fuels Reduction Storyboard
Tuolumne County is covered by multiple jurisdictions. Approximately 75% of lands are Federally managed; the Stanislaus National Forest accounts for over half of that area, covering more than 600,000 acres in Tuolumne County. Another approximately 360,000 acres fall under the State Responsibility Area. Like the rest of California, Tuolumne County is increasingly threatened by wildfire. A catastrophic wildfire has not occurred here since the Rim Fire in 2013 but as fuel load in the forests and on property throughout the county continues to accumulate, the risk increases. This storyboard provides a single source for displaying recently completed fuels reduction projects from many different federal, tribal, local, state and non-profit agencies. Information gathered and stored will allow all entities within Tuolumne County who do regular fuels reduction work, to collaborate and coordinate efforts such as grant applications.
