Herbicides have two primary roles in fuels management: The first is to prepare live fuels for burning by either browning or killing the plant. This allows them to be consumed more completely with other dead fuels on site. The second would be maintenance.
Manual fuels treatment involve hand felling and piling of fuels. The volume of material generated from a manual fuel treatment is typically too small to warrant a biomass sale therefore collected material is disposed of by burning or chipping.
Wildfires can wreak havoc on your commodities directly or indirectly. Smoke damage (smoke taint) is a problem that can destroy hundreds of millions of dollars in product. However, much of the problem can be reduced through education and collaborative efforts to protect vineyards.
Determining when to graze livestock after a fire can be a controversial and difficult decision. Much of the post-fire consideration depends on local site characteristics (percent slope, soil type), plant species composition, and intensity of the fire.
This map is an independent community effort developed to provide a general awareness of wildfire activity. UCANR is sharing this map solely as a reference, and is not responsible for the content or interpretation of the map.
Defensible space is a term used to describe the careful selection, location and maintenance of vegetation and other combustible materials on the property.
The aftermath of wildfires can be a difficult time. Although you may feel that the worst has happened, timely landscape recovery is CRITICAL to preventing future problems. Look below for more detailed information about your region.
