Proposition 40 Fuel Load Reduction Program
The goal of the California Department of Forestry (CDF) Prop 40 Fuels Reduction Program is to reduce wildland fuel loadings that pose a threat to watershed resources and water quality on nonfederal lands within fifteen Sierra Nevada counties: Butte, Plumas, Sierra, Yuba, Nevada, Placer, El Dorado, Amador, Alpine, Calaveras, Tuolumne, Madera, Mariposa, Fresno, and Tulare. The $2 million Proposition 40 Fuels Management Program is administered by Placer County RCD on behalf of the Sierra Coordinated Resources Management Council. (Participant forms can be downloaded from CAL FIRE's "Applying for Proposition 40 Fuels Reduction Program Funds" page.)

CDF/CARCD Grant I & II
Placer County RCD supports (CARCD) and CDF Forestry subcommittees that provide policy guidance to CARCD and CDF on forest stewardship matters, guidance for the CDF Forest Stewardship Program, leadership for educational programs on forestry and fuels management to RCDs, and assistance to local RCDs in funding implementation grants for forestry enhancement and improvement.
NRCS Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP)
Financial support to private landowners with the goal of sustaining a healthy forest, these practices result in the reduction of fuel load on eligible productive forest lands. In 2006, NRCS contracts over $324,101 provided a cost share of
$155,088 to enhance Placer County forestlands.
