Completion Form

2025

Lop and scatter was started on 10/27/23 and was completed on 11/7/23. Cut and pile was started on 09/28/23 but was snowed out and resume in the spring of 24.

Pinebrook: Project 1: 1.3 acres of HOA common space comprised largely of deciduous brush and Gambel oak was successfully cut and piled for future burning.
Project 2: Piles on approximately 83 acres of HOA common space were successfully 
burned. Two thirds of the acreage was comprised of mixed conifer while the remaining third 
was largely Gambel oak.
Project 3: Approximately 17 acres of HOA common space containing previously burned 
piles was reseeded along trails with native grasses and forbs, with an intent to reestablish 
appropriate plants, inhibit invasive species, and improve the post-treatment aesthetic.
Project 4: Developed, promoted, and implemented the Pinebrook Fire-adapted Landscapes 
and Safe Homes (FLASH) Program where 22 homeowners applied for grant funds in our 
reimbursement program performing work on their properties, of which 19 were eligible for 
and received a reimbursement for a portion of their expenses. This resulted in more than 42 
parcel acres being worked to manage and eliminate fire fuel

Summit County: Provided Pinebrook PM assistance

Parley Creek Phase 2 BDA: Sageland designed & completed permit applications, procured fence posts, recruited volunteers to complete structures and provided guidance to SLCDPU crews on fence posts install & design/maintenance specifications. Volunteer crew included community members and several dedicated hunters from 9/21-23, 2023.  We spent one day at Lamb's Canyon with volunteers adding fill and replacing fence posts for BDAs built in 2020 (8/18/2023).

An overstory treatment of the cut and pile areas will be implemented once this years piles are burned to make room for the next entry.

Pinebrook:The open-space worked as part of this project will require future maintenance/management 
and the responsible homeowners associations (PMA and PHOA) will oversee these future 
efforts. Plans are being formulated by the homeowner association Fire Safety Committee 
for additional work of mixed-conifer treatments along ridgelines and within the WUI, work 
to address the aspen decline within Pinebrook, treatment of Gambel oak, and work on 
neighboring properties

Riparian restoration: Sageland & SLCDPU collaborated to plan additional BDAs and maintenance of existing structures in Parley's Creek. Additional maintenance planned for Toll Canyon BDAS and McLeod Creek BDAs in FY25. Sageland Collaborative & other partners are committed to monitoring the site to ensure the restoration sites continue to improve over time. Beaver management is also a consideration, and project partners will work with UDWR to implement living with beaver structures may be needed at some sites in the future (i.e. beaver deceivers, pond levelers, tree protections) as requested by landowners.
