Free Vegetation Removal for Seniors and Disabled in El Dorado County
** NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME **

 
Requirements: You need to be 60 years of age or older and/or disabled and need assistance with clearing around your home in order to meet the required 30 feet of fire safe clearance. The residence that needs the clearing work must be your primary residence. There are no financial qualifications required to be eligible for this program, however this program has limited funds so please use this service only if you are financially unable to pay yourself.
 
How the program works: Once the form is submitted you will be contacted by the El Dorado County Fire Safe Council and arrangements will be made to have vegetation removed 30 feet from your home. This service is a pilot program funded thru grant money received from El Dorado County, Title III funds. Due to limited funds, this program is on a first-come, first-serve basis. This program is extremely popular, so it may be a few weeks before you can be scheduled to receive assistance.
 
The clearing work will be done by a landscaping crew from Mother Lode Rehabilitation Enterprises (M.O.R.E.), or another contractor. The crew will rake, weed-eat grass, remove accessible brush and other woody debris, from around your home and the El Dorado County Fire Safe Council will pay the bill. Large trees that need to be removed will be the homeowner’s responsibility.
 
Cost: The clearing work is FREE. Please read and complete the Free Vegetation Clearance Form and send it by mail or fax.
