Fuel Reduction in Twin Pines Park

You might notice that Twin Pines Park feels bigger. The Belmont Creek Restoration project created more elbow room by regrading the creek banks and removing invasive eucalyptus trees. Last week, CalFire crews helped with substantial fuel reduction on the park's southwestern hillside. Ladder fuels (lower branches and brush) and dead wood were removed. This not only reduces the likelihood and intensity of fire, but also creates new forest spaces to explore. Parks staff oversaw the crews who worked over several days, even in the rain. We are grateful to CalFire for providing this valuable resource to help keep our parks and open spaces fire safe.
