Featured News & EventsProposition 40 Fuels Management ProgramSee the
Prop 40 Fuels Management Program for more details and information on applying for reimbursement under this 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. Placer County Chipper ProgramPlacer County RCD manages the Placer County Chipper Program, providing a low-cost curbside chipping service to help landowners in their efforts to reduce fire hazards by creating defensible space and converting large brush piles for burning into small biodegradable chips useful for mulching or landscaping. The Chipper Program is supported in part through federal and state grants secured by Placer County RCD in partnership with Placer County, Placer County Sheriff’s Dept., CalFIRE, Placer County Air Pollution Control District, California Fire Safe Council, and Tahoe National Forest. These grants are used to help offset and reduce the landowners full cost for utilizing the Chipper Program. Read about Placer County RCD happenings on our News & Events page.
