CalVTP

The California Vegetation Treatment Program, was developed to streamline the CEQA review process for fuels reduction projects. These projects focus on modifying fuels within the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), constructing fuel breaks, and restoring historic ecological fire regimes. The following treatments are covered under this project:

• Manual treatments (hand thinning)

• Mechanical treatments (mastication and heavy equipment utilization)

• Prescribed burning (broadcast and pile burns)

• Prescribed herbivory (grazing)

​

FRM is experienced in all aspects of developing and administering CalVTPs, from designing a Wildfire Resilience Plan, implementing Biological and Botanical Surveys, to developing required mitigations. In hiring a forestry consultant, you will ensure compliance with all CEQA laws and forest practice rules throughout the various stages of your project.
