$4.6 Million Restoration Project Planned In California’s Tahoe National Forest | Timber Harvesting
The investment will kick off a forest restoration project protecting 15,000 acres of forestland in the North Yuba River watershed using ecologically based tree thinning, meadow restoration, prescribed burning, and invasive species management—all specifically designed to reduce the risk of severe fire, improve watershed health, and protect water resources. The restoration treatments are prescribed by the Forest Service, benefit from public comment, and rely on the work of existing restoration crews.
“There is overwhelming need for cost-effective climate solutions to help communities dealing with the dual threats of mega-fires and droughts. The Rockefeller Foundation is proud to support the Forest Resilience Bond, which demonstrates the importance of infusing the market with new thinking and new capital through attractive, investable financing mechanisms,” said Saadia Madsbjerg, managing director at The Rockefeller Foundation.
Do the Math.............155 million in grants...........Here is 4.5 million........for 15000 acres............Thining.......prescribed burns.....killing bugs.........
You could do this 34.4 times for that money.......which would be over 500,000 acres...........
