Vegetation - Lassen Foothills [ds564]

The Tehama County Resource Conservation District contracted with the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and Aerial Information Systems (AIS) to produce a fine-scale, spatially and floristically accurate vegetation map of the Lassen Foothills project area. A primary objective of this collaborative project was the creation of a detailed vegetation map in the Lassen Foothills project area, along with a vegetation classification at the alliance-level. The resulting field surveys and map provide a baseline dataset with great floristic and ecological detail. This information is being used to develop state and transition models for the vegetation types as well as a fire condition class map. Ultimately, this information will feed into the Lassen Fire Management Plan developed by the Tehama County Resource Conservation District in conjunction with the Tehama-Glenn FireSafe Council.
