The project will involve comprehensive ecological interventions such as herbicide application, native plant seeding, invasive species management, stream rehabilitation, and wildlife corridor enhancement, in collaboration with state and federal agencies, tribal organizations, and private landowners. The goal is to increase ecosystem resilience, support endangered species recovery, and mitigate wildfire risks across the targeted landscape.
