Cottonwood Creek Watershed Strategic Fuels Reduction and Management Plan
 The purpose of the Strategic Fuels Reduction and Management Plan for the Cottonwood Creek Watershed is to identify those areas where the construction
of shaded fuelbreaks and ridgetop fuelbreaks can increase protection for those living in the watershed, protect values at risk, provide firefighters safety when containing a blaze, allow residents safe transportation routes away from a wildfire,
and encourage a maintenance plan to protect and continue this fuelbreak network. The Plan includes an inventory and location of the various fuel types throughout the watershed, the results of running the BEHAVE computer modeling program to
predict fire behavior in various vegetation types, a discussion of values at risk, landowner objectives, fuel treatments, the road system, potential funding sources, proposed fuel reduction projects, and previous fuelbreak locations used as
links to develop the fuelbreak system.
The report and maps are available below.
