Wildfire Risk Reduction
Paradise Recreation and Park District's
Wildland Buffer Project
The Paradise Recreation and Park District is preparing a forward-looking plan to reduce the potential risk of future wildfires to local communities within the District’s jurisdiction.
The Wildland Buffer Project would create a network of interconnected trails, parks and managed open space that would:
· Reduce the risk of wildfires to communities in Butte Creek Canyon, the Ridge and the Concow Basin.
· Provide open space for parks, hiking, biking, horseback riding and agricultural uses.
· Improve wildlife habitat and the watershed.
· Support local economic development.
