Protecting Georgetown's Mountain Properties
Brushtech Land Management proudly serves Georgetown, the northeasternmost town in the California Mother Lode. Originally called "Growlersburg" after gold-laden quartz rocks that "growled" in miners' pants, this historic community was rebuilt after an 1852 fire with fire prevention in mind—featuring a remarkable 100-foot-wide Main Street specifically designed to prevent fire spread.
At 2,654 feet elevation with four times the precipitation of western valley locations, Georgetown experiences lush vegetation growth that becomes critical fuel during hot, dry summers. This creates prominent wildfire risk requiring expert land management to protect your mountain property while preserving the character of this historic Mother Lode town.
