Plan and Implement Hazardous Fuels Reduction Activities on National Park Service Lands in Marin County

The National Park Service intends to award a cooperative agreement to the County of Marin, Marin County Fire Department, for the project titled "Plan and Implement Hazardous Fuels Reduction Activities on National Park Service Lands in Marin County." The project aims to reduce the threat of catastrophic fire to communities and natural resources by reducing hazardous wildland fuels in Point Reyes National Seashore, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and Muir Woods National Monument. The project will include cutting and piling, chipping, or hauling living or dead flammable vegetation, and will provide for fuels work to protect NPS facilities and resources and increase safety for visitors. Key aspects of the project include: • Hazardous fuels reduction activities on NPS lands in Marin County • Collaboration between the Marin County Fire Department and the National Park Service • Use of local, state-certified Type 1 fire crew for project activities • Emphasis on community fire protection and education • Project duration of 5 years • Anticipated federal funding of $1,499,995, with a non-federal cost share of $54,612.
