LARGE TREE MAPPING ACROSS THE SIERRA NEVADA
BUTTE COUNTY
PROJECT ID: 2020114
Dear Board Members:
The Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB), in addition to other responsibilities, carries out a
program that includes the development of key information critical for effective future
enhancement, restoration, or management of fish and wildlife habitat.
At this time, and in response to a request from Blue Forest Finance, Inc., WCB proposes to
consider the allocation of funds for a grant to identify the locations of large Sierra Nevada trees,
quantify their functional value, determine the effects of treatments on their distribution, and assess
their variability under climate change. The project study area includes Alpine, Amador, Butte,
Calaveras, El Dorado, Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Madera, Mariposa, Mono, Nevada, Placer, Plumas,
Sierra, Tulare, Tuolumne, and Yuba counties. This proposal is presently scheduled for the
November 18, 2020 Board meeting. An electronic copy of the Preliminary Agenda is available for
your review at www.wcb.ca.gov under News and Announcements. A more complete description of
each proposal will be contained in the final meeting Agenda, which will be available at
www.wcb.ca.gov ten days prior to the Board meeting.
If you have any questions about this proposal or need additional information, please feel free to
contact me at (916) 445-0137.
Sincerely,
John P. Donnelly
Executive Director
