If you believe the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea should not wait until 2027 or later to remove the hazardous fuel in Pescadero Canyon — but instead act immediately — reach out today before it’s too late.

What could be more important or urgent?

Here are some ideas for your petition:

Pescadero Canyon has accumulated hazardous fuel for decades. The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea must prioritize immediate fuel reduction in the City parcels before the 2026 fire season — not after a devastating wildfire. We urge the City to act now, while funding, public support, and workable solutions are already in place.

Pescadero Canyon’s hazardous fuel load has been building for decades. Carmel-by-the-Sea should act immediately —
not years from now — to reduce wildfire risk in the City parcels along 2nd Avenue before a preventable disaster occurs.

The City already has the authority, the responsibility, and the available funding pathways to begin fuel reduction now.
We urge immediate action before the 2026 fire season intensifies the danger.
