Objectives

The Primary SCRMP Objectives are:

• Reduce fuel loads and fire hazards.


• Develop and improve water sources to be used for fire control, wildlife, and livestock.


• Extend the base flow of perennial streams within the CRMP boundary.


• Create and improve wildlife habitat through “low serial stage” ecosystem that is very bio-diverse.


• Establish and maintain fire trails and fuel breaks.


• Develop habitat for threatened and endangered species under the protection of Safe Harbor agreements with the USF&WS.


• Develop a program of environmental monitoring in order to evaluate and quantify the success of environmental projects.


• Provide educational opportunities and a demonstration area for others who want to be good stewards of the land.


• Develop a duplicatable system using large controlled herds of herbivores for maintenance of impacted areas with economic return to partially, or fully, cover the cost of maintenance management.
