The Kings Mountain Manzanita Ecosystem Resiliency Project is a vegetation management and ecological restoration effort to improve habitat health and resilience in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It involves selective removal of competing vegetation, emphasizing ecological restoration and public safety, with bids due by July 17, 2026.
The Kings Mountain Manzanita Ecosystem Resiliency Project is a vegetation management and ecological restoration project intended to improve the long-term health, persistence, and resilience of Kings Mountain manzanita habitat within the Santa Cruz Mountains. The project will focus on the selective removal of smaller competing trees and understory vegetation, particularly Douglas-fir, tanoak, and other encroaching woody species, to reduce shading, maintain open habitat structure, improve growing conditions for Kings Mountain manzanita, and enhance overall ecosystem resiliency. The estimated level of effort for the combined Base Bid and Additive Alternate work is approximately 1,915 vegetation treatment labor hours. Work will generally include hand cutting, limbing, and on-site treatment of vegetation while retaining dominant canopy trees, sensitive habitat features, and native forest structure. Project implementation will emphasize ecological restoration objectives, public safety, and minimal ground disturbance. The Project must be fully completed within 75 calendar days from the start date set forth in the Notice to Proceed.
