1. Verizon Infrastructure

1. Verizon Infrastructure

Equipment encased by wooden fence, with limbs touching. HIGHLY recommend cutting back limbs so they do not touch the wooden structure.

Evaluate further with arborist.
4. Create fuel break

4. Create fuel break

Recommend leaving habitat trees and area. However, highly recommend reducing the surrounding fuel load (considering small fire break), and remove any dead and down limbs on the ground. Protect habitat and try to prevent from igniting by reducing fuel loads around it. Will create a fuel break where grass is reduced 2-3 inches up to 15 ft away from the trees. The remaining grass can be cut 6-8 inches.
3. Reduce grass

3. Reduce grass

High priority for grazing. Reducing the grass fuel load around the habitat trees can help reduce the amount of work needed in habitat. For the general area, I would recommend either cleaning up the understory around the habitat trees, including limbing and pruning; or reduce the grass. Both would be best, but the tall grass would make it easy for fire to carry through this site.
