CWPP - Community Wildfire Protection Plan. A comprehensive look at the mountain communities, profiling our risk factors and detailing actions we need to implement in the near future. Funded by a grant from the Bureau of Land Management, this document acts as a road map, directing our project efforts and assisting us in obtaining grant support for those efforts.

Charter School Shaded Fuel Break. This project created a fuel break along the road leading to the the Pine Mountain Learning Center, located west of Pine Mountain Club off of Mil Potrero Highway. The project made it possible, in the event of a wildfire, for fire crews to protect the school and evacuate the students and staff. You can see in the before and after pictures below that the fuel load was significantly reduced, leaving many beautiful trees and eliminating the hazard.
