Your Lake Arrowhead Realtor would like to share some local Lake Arrowhead Information with you.
Do you think your property needs some tree thinning? Then this post is for you?
“Forest Care”
helps those of us living here in the forest with the tools and
knowledge to help make sure we keep our environment healthy. For
instance, if you own less than 20 acres and have more than 100 trees per
acre over one foot tall, you may qualify for the
Forest Care Program (basically it is thinning your trees).
All you have to do is set up an appointment (# at the bottom) or fill
out the form online and they’ll arrange to have a professional come
visit your property (free) and verify that you do qualify for help in
creating your own custom
Forest Care plan.
And the Forest Care Partners, the National Forest Association and
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (with grants from
the USDA Forest Service) may reimburse you for up to 75% of the cost of
implementing your plan.
Why Forest Care? Because
we live in such a “high fire area,” Forest Care is necessary to thin an
overstocked, overgrown forest. Forest Care sets standards for thinning
the trees on properties to establish healthy levels, including
eliminating low undergrowth that can act as a ladder for flames,
spreading them quickly from the ground to the forest canopy.

This program is ending this year. Cut off date to have an appointment with one of the foresters is August 15th, 2013.
