Summit Mountain Pine Beetle Salvage Project
The Swan Lake Ranger District?s ID Team identified management activities (Proposed Action) to move toward the desired future (vegetative) condition of recovering merchantable timber from areas affected by mountain pine beetle and providing wood products from the Summit MPB Salvage Project Area. The Proposed Action would result in timber sales that are expected to be sold in 2009. Salvage harvest operations are expected to begin in 2009 to maximize value after the sale date. Harvest activities are anticipated to be completed within a 3-year time frame. Reforestation activities would be completed no more than 5 years after logging is completed. Other non-ground disturbing management activities would be completed by 2019.
