The flyover represents Strategically Prioritized Resilience Treatment (SPRT) units developed through ARC’s Landscape Level Prioritized Resilience Treatment planning system (AKA “LEOPARD”). ARC Forestry has worked collaboratively with many public and private landowners, RCD’s, Fire Safe Councils, and other non-profits to plan, prioritize, map, field verify, permit, flag layout for treatment operations and to protect sensitive resources, and conduct contractor compliance on 1,000’s of acres across multiple counties since 2019. To see another flyover for a similar ARC collaboration in San Luis Obispo County look under Projects/SLO-RESIL.
