California Fire Safe Council Grant — Los Trancos Woods Corridor

A multi-year grant funded through a joint effort between the San Mateo County and Santa Clara County Fire Safe Councils is supporting vegetation management along the Los Trancos Woods corridor. WFPD's Mitigation team has been contracted to lead the roadside vegetation work. The crew took advantage of wet conditions in March to pull French broom along Ramona and Los Trancos Roads. A full project kickoff is scheduled for June 2, 2026, at which point the team will begin comprehensive roadside vegetation management. The project also includes removal of seven eucalyptus trees on Los Trancos Road and two pine trees on Ramona Road. The grant spans three years, providing the opportunity for a second treatment pass.
