Recommendations consider free salvage, natural regeneration, artificial reforestation, thinning, understory removals, prescribed burning, fertilization, and pruning. BAER (burned area emergency rehabilitation) report is designed to alleviate emergency watershed conditions following wildfire to help stabilize soil, control water, sediment, and debris movement, and prevent threats to life, property, and other downstream values, both on-site and off-site. Recommends that the District acquire high-resolution (2-meter) color infrared (CIR) photography for the fire area, that the burned plantations be replanted as quickly as possible, that the remaining areas with a high amount of stand mortality be rescheduled for planting, that all plantings emphasize establishment of early-seral conifers on upland sites, and that future stand densities by maintained at levels which minimize the potential for crown fires.
