4FRI Includes the Entire Suite of Restoration Efforts
The Four Forest Restoration Initiative is a broad initiative that covers numerous restoration efforts that continue to be implemented across its four forests. All kinds of restoration work, as well as thinning and prescribed burning, are included in 4FRI, such as:
- wildlife habitat improvement
- grassland restoration
- watershed maintenance
- spring restoration
- stream channel restoration
- trail and road maintenance
- road decommissioning
Implementation of these projects involves Forest Service crews, volunteers and partners, smaller-scale thinning contracts, and large stewardship contracts (e.g., the White Mountain and Phase 1 Stewardship Contracts).
We have developed a 4FRI Flowchart and a one-page description of 4FRI to answer the question "What is 4FRI?"
ALL of these efforts combined make up the largest landscape-level collaborative restoration project in Forest Service history.
