FITCH MOUNTAIN PUBLIC ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
Public access improvements are underway at Fitch Mountain!
When complete, this project will provide sustainable trail access from the Lower Villa parking lot to the existing fire access road/trail on Fitch Mountain
Contractors are currently installing a new bridge system to cross the seasonal stream and repairing an actively eroding gully and a rock channel head cut. The project also includes a new trailhead, ADA accessible access, interpretive signage, and a reconstruction of the Villa Dog Park.
The main Fitch Mountain Villa trail and all connection trails will be closed and inaccessible during construction

MITIGATION PLAN LOCAL HAZARD
Did you know that having a local hazard mitigation plan (LHMP) can help reduce the impact of natural disasters on our community?
The City of Healdsburg is vulnerable to: droughts wildfires flooding landslides earthquakes
An LHMP identifies risks and vulnerabilities that area-specific natural disasters pose, serves as a long-term strategy for reducing identified risks and associated impacts to people and property, and provides a framework for future requests for Federal assistance.
The City of Healdsburg has published the 2023 LHMP Public Review Draft as part of the five-year LHMP update process. The 2023 LHMP update process will work to reassess risks outlined in the 2018 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and provide the City with the necessary tools to prioritize future actions for reducing those risks.
Scan the code or visit healdsburgemergency.org to read the draft Plan and provide feedback. The deadline has been extended to Friday, September 15.
