COBB, Calif. – Black Rock Golf Course in Cobb is hosting the Valley Fire Long-Term Recovery Task Force on Tuesday, Jan. 19.

The task force is comprised of local, state, federal, tribal and nonprofit agencies, all working together to manage the recovery of Lake County after the Valley Fire.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at the golf course, 16451 Golf Road.

The Lake County Department of Public Works, tasked with keeping county roadways safe, will make a presentation on the Valley Fire Hazardous Tree Removal program.

Under this program the county will take responsibility for removing the hazard trees that threaten county roads, located on private property, at no cost to the owner.

The property owner will be required to sign a right of entry. This is an additional and separate right of entry from the one that was required to participate in the CalRecycle Debris Removal program.

All trees will be inspected by a certified arborist prior to removal. Only trees that have been identified for removal by a certified arborist will be removed.
