Wildland Fire Management at GGNRA: Planning in Progress for Rancho Corral de Tierra

Staff from Golden Gate National Recreation Area will provide an overview of wildland fire management at GGNRA and discuss an amendment to the park's fire management plan to include new park lands at Rancho Corral de Tierra in San Mateo County. The new lands at Rancho have added almost 4,000 acres to the park, including approximately 2.4 miles of wildland urban interface where the park shares a common boundary with residential areas in Montara, Moss Beach and El Granada. Wildland urban interface areas are important in wildland fire management planning because they tend to have a higher potential for human-caused fires and more private property at risk.

The presentation will be at 10:00 am, Wednesday, June 12, 2013 during the regular Fire Safe San Mateo County Meeting. The meeting begins at 9:30 am and is open to the public.

Fire Safe San Mateo meetings are open to the public and are held the second Wednesday of each month at 9:30am.  Meetings are typically 2 hours.
