Book Description
Excerpt from The Fuel-Break System for the San Dimas Experimental Forest The San Dimas Experimental Forest is maintained by the Forest Service, u.s. Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the California Division of Forestry. Since 1947 this has been a joint research project with the California Division of Forestry, which participates in program planning and provides financial support. Other long-term cooperators are the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, the Los Angeles County Fire Department, and the University of California, which provide staff or other support or use research facilities at the experimental forest. Special recognition is due these agencies and the California Department of water Resources for assistance with emergency rehabilita tion work after a wildfire in July 1960. Their cooperation made it possible to restore experimental facilities and start emergency research on methods of managing Chaparral watersheds for more effective control of fires, floods and erosion, and water yield.
