The Santa Clara County FireSafe Council partnered with the City of Palo Alto to complete a roadside vegetation clearance project along Page Mill Road. This maintenance project focused on preserving a key evacuation route through vegetation management and hazard reduction. The collaboration also included the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District and Foothills Nature Preserve.
The project took place from late September through October, during which the FireSafe Council treated 24.24 acres along 10 miles of roadway. With the support of partner agencies, a total of 42.69 acres were treated. Denali Tree Service served as the vegetation subcontractor and Statewide Traffic Safety and Signs provided traffic control support.
