FWP R2 is getting inundated with calls on black bears getting into residential attractants. The majority of the bear populations are using lowland habitats along streams and rivers---the temptations are great—lots of garbage, bird feeders, etc. Everyone should be running an especially tight ship at this time—with all attractants contained. FWP staff, biologists and wardens are getting “way to many calls” about bears in bird feeders and humming bird feeders. Let all your neighbors know that the bird feeders need to come down.
Fuel Mitigation/Tree Thinning: Landowners must fill out an application for thinning and, once the proposed plan is approved, may choose to fill out a cost share grant application to defray the cost. The cost share grant program, if available, may cover up to 50% of the cost with the landowner responsible for the rest. Cost shares applied for AFTER work is done will not be approved. The wood market is very poor, so it's unlikely that the remaining 50% of the cost would be covered by selling the timber. Landowners are responsible for finding and hiring their own contractor. Fire Safety Committee members or anyone acting on behalf of DARLOA cannot make any contractual arrangements for landowners. There is a list of contractors available at the DARLOA office to assist in finding a qualified firm. The Fire Safety Committee will assist landowners with thinning and cost share applications, finding property boundaries and marking trees. For detailed info, the forms and guidelines are posted on the DARLOA web site under Documents, Fire Safety. If you have questions, please contact the DARLOA office.
