Mammoth Lakes Fire Safe Council (MLFSC) recently received a $500,000 grant from the Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC).

MLFSC was one of seven Proposition 1 grant recipients. Plumas County had the only other Fire Safe Council to receive a grant (it received two).

According to an MLFSC press release from Tuesday, June 12, the money is designated for “mechanical and hand thinning, fuel breaks, roadside and campground fuels reduction, forest restoration, and meadow aspen release treatments on a minimum of 406 acres and up to 632 acres on Inyo National Forest land over a two- to three-year period.”
