Hazardous Fuel Reduction on San Pedro Mountain

San Rafael Fire Department, in partnership with Marin County Fire Department and California State Parks, will be conducting a collaborative San Pedro Mountain Hazardous Fuel Reduction Project. The project is located along approximately 12.3 miles of ridgetop and connecting fire roads throughout the San Pedro Mountain open space area. The project will treat and reduce fuels on either side of the identified fire roads. The greater region has significant fuel accumulation issues throughout all vegetation communities and several areas throughout the Project Treatment Area have established populations of invasive French broom and eucalyptus. The project will focus on improving firefighter access and decreasing wildfire intensity and severity along critical fire roads using necessary vegetation management that will also help promote the resilience of existing oak woodlands and hardwood forests throughout the area.

To facilitate work and keep the public and the tree crews safe, fire road closures will be required for some locations during work hours. Please seek alternative trail access routes vegetation work is completed and the fire road has reopened.

PLANNED ROAD CLOSURE: Lower 1/2 mile section for Gold Hill Fire Road. September 5th to 27th from 8AM to 4PM.
