Dear FEMA Staff:
I am writing in support of the proposed Strawberry Canyon Vegetation Management Project, East Bay Hills, California (January 2008). I have followed with interest and appreciation the good work done by the University of California over the past five or six years to make their open space areas in the hill more fire safe and more supportive of native vegetation and habitat.
I am in favor of removal of exotic vegetation, in particular, large flammable trees such as eucalyptus and pine. This is our best defense against the spread of wildfire, especially from firebrands and embers during high wind conditions.
Sincerely,
Your Name
(don't forget to sign it!!)
