Power lines and poles to be replaced throughout Cleveland NF (near PCT)

Nearly 2,000 wooden poles will be replaced with steel ones over the next five years in and near the forest. In addition, roughly 30 miles of overhead lines will be buried in sensitive areas such as the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area and Cuyamaca Rancho State Park.

The first segment of the work will take place in the southeast part of San Diego County near Campo

Main reason: Two huge fires in the area were started by power lines.
