Vail Ski Area Forest Health Project
The Forest Service is proposing to implement hazard tree, salvage and regeneration treatments on about 984 acres of lodgepole pine on National Forest lands within special use permit boundary of the Vail Ski Resort. The purpose of this project is to reduce risks to the public and infrastructure from falling trees and to create conditions that would increase lodgepole pine regeneration following the mountain pine beetle epidemic by removing dead, dying and susceptible trees through salvage.
