Title
Increasing Pace and Scale of Fuels Reduction and Forest Restoration in the Sierra Nevada
Abstract
A power point presentation by Malcolm North, April Brough, Jonathan Long, Brandon Collins and Marc Meyer USFS
PSW, USFS Region 5, and UC Berkeley Outline:
1. Historical vs. Contemporary fire patterns
2. Contemporary treatment rates
3. Scaling Up: What are the opportunities with
mechanical treatment?
4. Scaling up using fire: comparing the ecological
effects of fire suppression and managed wildfire
5. Land management implications
