Proposition 40 Fuels Management Program

The goal of the Proposition 40 Fuels Management Program is to contract with private landowners for mutually beneficial forest improvement and wildfire hazard reduction projects designed to reduce fuel loadings that pose a threat to watershed resources and water quality.

Cost-share funding through this program is available to private, non-industrial forestland landowners for the development of forest management plans and the implementation of vegetation management practices to reduce fuel loads and the threat of wildfire. Practices may include: site preparation, tree planting, tree shelters, canopy cover, thinning, pruning, stand release, brush control, invasive weeds, land conservation, wildlife/riparian, etc.

Placer County RCD will administer the Prop 40 Fuels Management Program including invoicing and reimbursement processing. More info on our Prop 40 Fuels Management Program page.
