The Humboldt County Resource Conservation District was awarded a $5,027,427.40 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Community Wildfire Defense Grants program (CFDA 10.720). The award, granted on December 7, 2023, supports the development of a Community Wildfire Protection Plan and implementation of wildfire mitigation projects for the Greater Willow Creek area in California. Key activities include conducting wildfire risk assessments, reducing hazardous fuels, establishing defensible spaces, and improving wildfire response capabilities to create fire-adapted communities. As a sub-awardee, the District also helped implement a $4.7 million sediment management project on the Salt River to restore 7 miles of river channel and habitat.
