Sequoia National Forest Current and Recent Projects

Developing Proposal

  • Jackass Creek AOP Restoration

    Culvert removal and stream channel restoration in the crossing. Old culvert would be replaced by a bridge or bottomless-arch culvert. APE is approximately 0.25 to 0.35 acres. All disturbance would be confined to existing roadway.

  • Jackass Meadow Restoration Project

    Need to improve Jackass Meadow hydrologic function by stabilizing and elevating the meadow grade and prevent further degradation. Will install Beaver Dam Analog (BDA) structures.

  • Piute Mountains Travel Management Plan

    This project will complete the Forest-wide travel management plan, satisfying Subpart B of the agency-wide 2005 Travel Rule and 2009 Travel Management Directives. It will balance motor vehicle access with sustainable resource management.

Under Analysis

  • French Fire Restoration

    Abate hazard trees, reduce fuels and reforest high burn severity areas in 2021 French Fire focused on road / trails, Alta Sierra Ski Area and Alta Sierra community safety.

  • Sequoia and Sierra National Forests Prescribed Fire Project

    Implement a range of prescribed fire techniques across the landscape.

  • Shirley Peak Communications Tower SUP, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)

    Upgrading existing microwave system at Shirley Peak to an 8 GHz band, replacing existing Forest Service building, replacng existing towers, and building new building and towers.

  • Sugarloaf Fuels Reduction Project

    The Project proposes treatment of approximately 1000 acres on Sequoia National Forest land within the Giant Sequoia National Monument. Fuels reduction treatments include locations that allow for roadside hazard tree removal and private land buffer.

Analysis Completed

  • Castle Fire Ecological Restoration Project

    To restore and promote a healthy forest ecosystem; to establish forest conditions, to promote resilient forest conditions and to establish and maintain low surface and ladder fuel conditions

  • Hume Basin Restoration

    Treat up to 6,700 acres through thinning, sanitation, mastication and prescribed burn to improve forest health and wildlife habitat, and reduce fuels in Tenmile Creek drainage.

  • Windy Fire Restoration

    The project will promote forest resilience and ecological integrity by reducing fuel loads, reforestation, wildlife habitat improvement and hydrologic improvement activities.

On Hold

  • The Rock

    Increases red fir resilience and forest health, reduces fuel loading, improves habitat for sensitive and endangered species, improves watershed function and water availability for meadows, and reduces spread of fungus and other diseases
