Abstract

Proposes to return the vegetative communities to their historical state by creating an open oak woodland, reintroducing fire to a plant community that developed with fire as an integral part of its evolution, and reducing the fuel levels in the Canyon. Includes prescribed burning of 892 acres, seeding of 274 acres of the burn area with 4-5 species of native perennial grasses, and 200 acres of thinning of Oregon white oak with a lesser component of California black oak using chainsaws.
