Ethos Environmental worked with local residents, Fire Safe Councils, and partner agencies to reduce hazardous roadside vegetation along main trunk access roads in the Spy Rock community. These roads serve as the only access and evacuation routes for many rural households. Dense roadside vegetation, narrow travel corridors, and accumulated fuels had created substantial wildfire risk and threatened the ability of emergency responders to reach homes. Project activities included planning and implementing roadside vegetation reduction, developing long-term maintenance strategies, coordinating with local volunteer groups, and prioritizing roads serving elderly, disabled, and otherwise vulnerable residents. The project also supported maintenance of emergency access to fire-water tanks and improved the likelihood that firefighters and medical responders could safely reach homes during emergencies. The project produced significant public benefit by improving evacuation safety, reducing wildfire transmission risk, increasing access for emergency responders, and protecting the approximately 800 parcels and 2,000 residents who rely upon Spyrock Road and connected private roads as their principal route of access. 804637 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X Code Accounting 5107062877 249 W Jackson Street 260 Hayward CA 94544 X Heidi Wordhouse Executive Dir. 45.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennie Kay Banta Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Seville Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brenda Kahler Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false Mendocino County Fire Safe Council PO Box 263 Ukiah CA 95482 Wildfire Prevention 694910 1 989272 13493 1002765 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1002765 0 0 0 0 0 0 795324 715792 79532 0 0 0 0 4319 3887 432 10080 9072 1008 0 0 0 76 68 8 48 43 5 3502 3152 350 5186 4667 519 0 18000 16200 1800 3630 3267 363 0 0 0 0 0 4201 3781 420 Field Supplies & Materials 28181 25363 2818 Licenses & Fees 8943 8049 894 Dues & subscriptions 5277 4749 528 Taxes 3826 3443 383 3448 3104 344 894041 804637 89404 0 4934 28998 0 0 171760 0 0 0 0 0 60554 60554 0 0 0 0 1 0 4935 261312 34569 182222 34569 182222 X -29634 79090 -29634 79090 4935 261312 108724 X false false false X 831005 831005 0 0 831005 831005 0 831005 0 0 0 831005 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 60554 60554 60554 Form 990, Part III, Line 2 During the year, Ethos Environmental expanded its work in three significant ways: 1. The organization launched the Spyrock Safe Access and Roadside Fuels Reduction effort, a substantially larger wildfire resilience initiative than prior years. This work includes reducing hazardous roadside vegetation along critical evacuation and emergency-access routes in the Spy Rock and greater Laytonville area, improving the ability of emergency responders and residents to safely enter and leave remote communities during wildfire events. 2. Ethos Environmental developed a new Spyrock Resilience program focused on reducing wildfire risk and improving long-term environmental resilience in the Spy Rock area. The program combines wildfire transmission reduction with erosion-control strategies by creating and maintaining strategic fuels reduction areas and using resulting woody biomass to stabilize gullies and vulnerable slopes. This work is intended to reduce wildfire spread, protect roads and homes, and decrease erosion and sediment delivery to the Eel River watershed. 3. The organization increased its fiscal sponsorship and project-management capacity to support additional grassroots community groups. Ethos Environmental currently provides fiscal sponsorship and administrative support to local projects including Spy Rock Ready! Fire Safe Council, the Mendocino Craft Farmers Auction, and the Mendo Cup, and began improving its intake and tracking systems to expand that support.
