Placerville, Calif. — The Eldorado National Forest has published the Caldor Fire Restoration Project Environmental Assessment, beginning a 30-day comment period. The project aims to reduce safety risks, restore forest features and strengthen resilience to future disturbances. “The publication of this environmental assessment is an important step in rebuilding our forest and communities from the impacts of the Caldor Fire,” said Eldorado Forest Supervisor Amy Reid. “The proposed actions will help to reduce the threat of future uncharacteristic, large-scale wildfires like the Caldor while also restoring the ecological processes, habitat conditions and access to recreation that are essential to the Eldorado National Forest.”
