The Redwood Fuels Mitigation research project tested six fuels treatments to explore the benefits and tradeoffs of different fuels management strategies for managing wildfire risk in the redwoods. The findings from this project will be crucial for helping forest stewards adapt to increasing fire activity in the redwood region while managing for multiple goals and objectives.
