Los Gatos Creek Watershed Collaborative Forest Health Grant

Update

Status Update

Good weather has allowed crews to make steady progress mostly along Aldercroft Heights Road, Wrights Station Road and Sears Road, clearing understory vegetation, smaller diameter trees and dead and downed wood. Biological surveys are done ahead of treatments to ensure the highest level of environmental protection. Crews will continue to work up the watershed in for the new few weeks.

Santa Clara County FireSafe Council (SCCFSC), CAL FIRE, San Jose Water Company (SJW), Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) and Santa Clara County Parks (SCCP) have formed a collaborative partnership known as the Los Gatos Watershed Collaborative to implement forest health treatments on approximately 938 acres strategically located throughout the Los Gatos Creek Watershed in the Santa Cruz Mountains. These treatments will thin underbrush and remove dead and dying trees to improve forest health and fire resilience.


The Los Gatos Creek Watershed Collaborative Forest Health Grant is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment — particularly in disadvantaged communities.
