Winter Storm Hazardous Vegetation Cleanup

When

The Winter Storm Hazardous Vegetation Cleanup Project will deploy funding to ensure that 100 miles of County Roads are cleaned up, funds are provided through direct support to help highly impacted communities remove hazards from private roadways, and opportunities to dispose of green waste will be available.   

The objectives are to ensure that County and privately maintained roads are cleared off hazardous fuels generated through the 2023 Winter Storm and that residents can dispose of green waste removed from lands under their stewardship.

Where

Cleanup from the winter storms is taking place along the most impacted areas. See the green roadways on the map below for greater detail.
