The U.S. Forest Service plans to help prevent wildfires in the Los Padres National Forest by cutting down trees and chaparral across a 755-acre area of the forest. Forest Service managers are expediting the project — located on a ridge leading up to Reyes Peak, popularly known as Pine Mountain — using what's known as a categorical exclusion, bypassing an environmental impact review because they do not see the project having environmental effects.
