Developing project to reduce fuels in the Central area of the Crooked River National Grassland in response to the Wildfire Crisis Strategy (WCS). Work will primarily involve juniper thinning followed by piling/burning and native shrub planting.
The main project purpose is to improve forest resilience to disturbance events, like insect and disease outbreaks and wildfire, and to promote adaptation to drought conditions by reducing tree density and fuels loading.
The ONF proposes tree harvest treatments focusing on retaining large, healthy, fire and drought resistant species. Simultaneously, this project will improve forest health and wildfire resiliency and reduce threats to nearby private properties.
Ochoco National Forest is proposing tree thinning and fuels reduction for this project to create economic opportunities and increase timber supplies, reduce wildfire and tree insect/disease risks, and improve firefighter safety.
The Lookout Mountain District Ranger is proposing to cut dead/dying trees within the 250-acre salvage area including trees along approximately 3.5 miles of the 17 road.
