July 15, 2021 - The Stanislaus National Forest will thin 684 acres of pine plantation in southern Tuolumne County near the communities of Groveland and Greely Hill. The areas of pine plantation selected for this project burned at low or moderate severity within the 2013 Rim Fire, leaving a high density of live trees and excessive amounts of ground and surface fuels. The planned treatments will improve forest structure and increase resilience to wildfire, drought, and pest infestations.

The treatment area is within the Wildland Urban Interface and will protect communities and public infrastructure. This project is an integral part of the overall Rim Fire recovery effort. The Stanislaus National Forest will partner closely with the Yosemite Stanislaus collaborative and the Mule Deer foundation to implement this project.


The project is in southern Tuolumne County near Groveland and Greely Hill. Click map to enlarge.
