A FOREST TREATMENT GUIDE FOR LANDOWNERS THANK YOU for connecting with Chaffee Treats and considering
conducting a forest management treatment on your property! By taking action on your land, you are helping not only protect your home but also contribute to overall community fire resilience.
This guide is designed to help clarify treatment options and outcomes for your property. We have divided our treatment options into three tiers and will describe outcomes by dominant forest type.
TREATMENT TIERS Forest Restoration: This option is for landowners looking for the highest reduction in wildfire risk and best wildlife habitat benefits and protection from insects.
Recommended Option
Forest Improvement: This option is for landowners looking for moderate reduction in wildfire and insect risk, and moderate benefit to wildlife. Fuels Reduction: This option is for landowners who want to reduce the risk of active crown fires, but also retain abundant tree cover on their land. This option will have the lowest wildfire risk reduction and forest health improvements.
