Reducing Wildfire Risk and Improving Wildlife Habitat in Santa Cruz County
In 2015 the Graham Hill Road corridor was identified as a high priority fuel load reduction project due to the importance as an evacuation route and the opportunity to benefit the rare Sand Hills habitat. Since then, we have completed over 20 acres of critical work to improve the area through a collaboration with Cal Fire, Henry Cowell State Park, Bonny Doon Fire Safe Council and private landowners with funding from Cal Fire and PG&E. It takes the work of many people, groups and agencies with varying interest coming together to get these projects done.
