Mariposa, CA...Caltrans and its partners began the first phase of a $133 million project to create a unique protective structure to protect the roadway from rockslides and restore State Route 140 between Mariposa and El Portal, and provide a safe, direct route to enter Yosemite National Park. “The new structure will offer a unique, sustainable solution to avoid future closures,” said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. “This is important because SR-140 is a lifeline for local residents and this project will provide a safe and efficient transportation system to enhance Mariposa County’s economy and livability for years to come.”

In the Wake of the Rim Fire, What Comes Next? A Story of Recovery, Restoration and Reforestation |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/16/2015 06:35 PM
|
Groveland, CA...The Stanislaus National Forest is rising phoenix-like from the blackened forest left by the Rim Fire that blazed through the Sierras in August of 2013. Left with a burn scar that is one-third larger than New York City, a reforestation team is diligently working to bring forth a new forest. Since the fire, much has been done in the way of making the forest safe for public travel and recreation along main travel routes. Snags and fire-damaged trees are a safety hazard to humans and wildlife; they also create a tremendous fuel load on the ground (biomass) as they fall. This fuel can feed future fires, which can be severely damaging to the soil. Jack-strawed trees can also make it difficult for tree seedlings to gain a foothold...
