Klamath & Shasta-Trinity Prescribed Fire Project public meeting YREKA, Calif., May 14, 2025— The Klamath and Shasta-Trinity national forests are proposing the Klamath and Shasta-Trinity Prescribed Fire Project, a long-term effort to implement prescribed fire and associated fuels reduction across National Forest System lands within the boundaries of the national forests. The primary goals of the proposed project are to improve ecosystem integrity and resilience to severe wildfires, restore natural fire regimes, and protect nearby communities, as well as important social and ecological values. “The Klamath and Shasta-Trinity national forests’ prescribed fire and fuels reduction project will help us to more rapidly address dangerous forest conditions around our communities,” said Klamath National Forest Supervisor Chris Christofferson. “Combined with the new Emergency Authority Determination, this project will allow the forests and partners to focus efforts on active fuels reduction that will protect our communities and our forests from devastating wildfire. My team and I look forward to hosting a community meeting in Yreka to discuss this project.” The Klamath National Forest invites members of the public to attend a public meeting in-person or virtually via Microsoft Teams on May 21, 2025 from 5-7 p.m. More information and a link to the public meeting can be found at https://www.fs.usda.gov/ r05/klamath/events/klamath-shasta-trinity-prescribed-fire-project-public-meeting. A draft proposed action, complete with detailed maps and supporting information—including instructions on how to submit public comments—are available on the project website. Scoping period comments must be received on or before June 12, 2025.###USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender. |
