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.

To register for the next Chipper Day in your area click here. If you don’t have access to internet, please call (707.462.3662) or email (firesafe@pacific.net) to register.

When registering, there may not yet be a Chipper Day scheduled in your area but you can still submit your information. A Chipper Day will be scheduled when enough people in you area have signed up. Encouraging your neighbors to register will help speed this process. Thank you for helping to reduce the risk of wildfire in our community by signing up for Chipper Days

Survey: How was your experience with the Chipper Day? How many hours and how much money did you spend in preparing the material for the Chipper Day? Email your response to info@sherwoodfirewise.org!
