Little Dean Fuels Vegetation Management
Analysis of fuels vegetation management needs in the area south of Phillips Lake; Little Dean Creek, Worley Springs, Black Mountain. The Forest will be preparing an environmental analysis to record and disclose the environmental effects of a proposed action to improve forest health, resiliency to disturbance, reduce the risk of wildfire within the wildland urban interface, and to provide economic benefit to the local economy. In addition, the project will increase the structural complexity and species diversity of vegetation to provide habitat for a wider range of wildlife species. The project area is approximately 16,946 acres on National Forest System lands.
