SOFAR Cohesive Strategy |
The South Fork of the American River (SOFAR) Cohesive Strategy project area includes 410,000 acres in El Dorado County, more than half of which is Eldorado National Forest land. The SOFAR watershed has tremendous need for proactive forest management to help prevent wildfire. In 2014, SOFAR was proposed for implementing the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy, and that same year, 12% of the project area was burned by the King Fire. El Dorado County needs the SOFAR Cohesive Strategy to deal with forest management, to keep our beautiful forest lands, and prevent wildfire. The SOFAR Cohesive Strategy maintains progress toward three primary goals:
- Restoring and maintaining resilient landscapes
- Creating fire-adapted communities
- Responding to wildfires
To accomplish these goals, strategic partnerships are being made to coordinate around focus areas, track progress and report to respective committees. The community is actively engaged in the SOFAR Cohesive Strategy, and a diverse group of individuals and organizations are working collaboratively toward a common interest in preservation. Participation and membership is open to all stakeholders.
