Park district uses groundbreaking, environmentally friendly tool for fuels reduction
By East Bay Regional Park District Fire Department
In the fall of 2020, while conducting ongoing vegetation management work, East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) staff noticed significant tree die-off in parks. In response, team members proactively reached out to experts at UC Berkeley, U.S. Forest Service, CAL FIRE, and other organizations for information about the scope and cause of the die-off, which was also affecting trees regionally and statewide.
