Community Chipper Program

Funding is available from the Mendocino County Fire Safe Council for Sherwood Corridor residents to chip brush and branches removed near homes.

Reducing fire fuel



The Mendocino County Fire Safe Council (MCFSC), under its fiscal sponsor the Mendocino County Resource Conservation District (MCRCD), has developed a Countywide Community Chipper Program. Through this program, MCFSC has reduced wildfire fuel for over 150 homes in Brooktrails. We thank the Mendocino County Fire Safe Council for funding and contracting for this important project.

CHIPPER DAY for BROOKTRAILS is on the 2nd Monday of every month. If you live in BROOKTRAILS, register for the next Chipper Day by clicking here. If you don’t have access to internet, please call (707.462.3662). For OTHER SHERWOOD CORRIDOR PROPERTIES, please call Bobbie at 707.462.3662 to schedule a Chipper Day. And don’t forget to tell a neighbor!
