Dear Friends:
REMINDER- ESP Meeting, Tuesday, August 12, 2025, 2-4 pm
Presentation: The San Rafael - San Anselmo Fuel Reduction Zone Project
zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89000738183?pwd=kV4QibRzvnMvOhbJjna45NLG4iaaBV.
Presenter: Kate Anderson, Wildfire Prevention Program Manager, San Rafael Fire Department, assisted by Jacob Dadmun, Vegetation Management Specialist, MWPA. We will learn about current plans, progress, what went especially well over the years, obstacles, remaining challenges including thoughts about biomass disposition.
The project removes plants that can easily catch and spread fire, such as Broom and smaller Eucalyptus. This will help protect homes and lives from wildfires. The project will also help restore the forest so that native plants and animals can thrive and support a natural woodland area that is less prone to fires.
This project has been a multi-year collaborative planning effort between the San Rafael Fire Department, Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority, Marin County Parks, Town of San Anselmo, Cedars of Marin, and Tamalpais Cemetery. Agenda is attached.
