Drivers could expect delays along King Peak Road and could encounter project work along trails.
"This project is aimed at improving fire resilience and forest health," said King Range NCA Manager Paul Sever. "We are asking anyone visiting the area to be patient as this critical work is completed."
On King Peak Road and connecting roads, crews will be cutting small trees and moving the material to a chipper on the roadway in a six-mile-long work area about two miles from the community of Shelter Cove. Along the Paradise Royale Mountain Bike Trail, crews will be cutting and piling material away from the trail along the entirety of the trail.
The project is part of an ongoing project funded by a Cal Fire forest health grant. More information is available from the King Range office in Whitethorn by calling 707-986-5400, or by contacting the BLM Arcata Field Office, 707-825-2300.
