Requests are received from local property owners to establish a "no-spray" zone on road frontage bordering their property.

Tree Mortality Mitigation

Over the next several months, Mariposa County Public Works Department will be mitigating tree mortality hazards along County maintained roadways and properties. Working with the assistance of Cal Fire Madera-Mariposa-Merced Unit, the activity of falling trees and the associated cleanup may cause traffic delays and short term road closures, or may require the closure of parks and other properties.

Thank you in advance for your patience, and for being alert to the work zones to ensure you and the workers remain safe. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Russ Marks at 209-966-5356.
