Project Narrative
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

Future Management
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
