More money is going to controlling vegetation. This week, Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved another $3-million in grants for 17 vegetation management projects. This will fortify thousands of acres against wildfires while expanding public access to tools that reduce the threat posed by wildland blazes. The projects are the latest to be funded by the county’s Vegetation Management Grant Program with money from the PG&E settlement over the 2017 firestorms. Including the latest funds, the program has now awarded $11.3-million in grants to 63 projects since 2021.
