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.
