LUCERNE, Calif. – The Upper Lake Ranger District of the Mendocino National Forest will hold a public open house to discuss the North Shore Restoration Project on Thursday, May 9.
The open house will take place from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Lucerne Alpine Senior Center, 3985 Country Club Drive.
The planning team will have information about the North Shore Restoration Project for review and be available to answer questions and receive comments at the open house.
The team is asking the community to provide input from the very beginning about what they would like to see done on their National Forest.
Personnel from the Forest Service, Cal Fire and Natural Resources Conservation Service also will be available for private landowners to discuss post-fire restoration on private lands and opportunities to combine treatments across boundaries to increase chances in acquiring outside funding.
The project area is within the 2018 Ranch fire perimeter and is in the wildland urban interface of the communities on the north and east shores of Clear Lake.
Information about the area, purpose and need and proposed action can be found on the forest Web site at https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=55716.
The Mendocino National Forest is preparing an environmental assessment for the project in collaboration with FireScape Mendocino, the Forest Service Regional Ecology program and the Pacific Northwest Research Station.
