Upper Feather River Watershed

LiDAR scans the landscape and provides highly accurate information on the terrain and vegetation. The attached examples use LiDAR technology to characterize topography and vegetation for areas around Clio; in Eastern Plumas County. Such data exists for portions of the watershed; but more complete coverage is needed.
LiDAR data has been captured for portions of the UFR Region (including the Moonlight and Storrie Fire areas; Meadow Valley and Mohawk Valley). This project will be a collaborative effort between the US Forest Service; Plumas County; and other IRWM signatories to fund acquisition of LiDAR topography data for the remainder of the Upper Feather River Watershed.
This project will directly support mapping and project-design for a large number of other currently-proposed IRWM projects; and each project could potentially contribute a small portion of their budget to an overall mapping budget for the entire UFR Region.
