Lower Blue Salvage and Fuels Project
The Proposed Action would implement salvage, regeneration and fuel reduction treatments on approximately 4,000 acres of lodgepole pine within the lower Blue River watershed. The purpose of the project is to create conditions that would increase lodgepole pine and aspen regeneration following the mountain pine beetle epidemic and to reduce the continuity of future heavy fuel loading over the long-term by removing dead, dying and susceptible trees through salvage.
