Description
The Pine Hill Preserve
The Pine Hill Preserve was established to protect rare native plants in El Dorado County, California, that occur on a particular soil type known as gabbro soils. The Preserve is centered around Green Valley Road and stretches from Folsom Lake in the north to Highway 50 in the south. Currently made up of over 3,900 acres, the goal is to protect 5,000 acres when the Preserve is completed.
Though the units are physically separated, they are managed together as a single Preserve. Having larger units allows management actions like prescribed fire that cannot be attempted with small parcels surrounded by developed private lands.
An important part of the Preserve's overall management includes wildfire risk reduction and control of the amount of vegetation, or "fuels", present. This is called fuels management.
