California Conservation Crews were contracted to buck, limb, split, and prepare trees that had been cleared for delivery to the nearby Brannan Island State Park. US Fish and Wildlife Service Fire Staff from Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge provided oversight to the CCC crews and completed the main chainsaw work. The California Department of Parks and Recreation then used the wood for campers that visit the park, helping to prevent destruction of park resources by wood collectors.

The project removed the structures to clear hazardous fuels and prevent illegal campfires, fireworks, and smoking.
