Bullskin Ridge Shaded Fuel Break

The Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) awarded SCFSC $608,000 to construct a shaded fuel break along Bullskin Ridge, located between Phillips Road and Bullskin Road near the community of Oak Run in Shasta County. A 600-foot wide shaded fuel break will be constructed on the ridge top and will include approximately 290 acres of forest land.  The purpose of this project is to create a fuel break that would improve fire safety for the community of Oak Run and beyond, as well as protect mature timberlands and the Oak Run Creek Watershed, which provide vital ecosystem services and are home to countless species of wildlife as well as some of the largest, oldest ponderosa pine trees in Shasta County. We appreciate SNC’s commitment to keeping or communities safe from wildfire and promoting healthy forests.
