AUBURN, Calif. — Community-based efforts to keep Auburn safe from wildfires spreading from the American River canyon have received a major financial boost.
The Auburn-based Sierra Nevada Conservancy board has approved a grant to provide $147,690 in funding for a project that will clear 60 acres of wildfire-safe defensible space this year along the canyon rim to the east of Auburn.
The work will mainly be done by California Department of Corrections inmate crews, with a private vendor coming in to chip cuttings.
