Snow Basin Vegetation Management Project
Analysis of vegetation and fuels management needs in the Eagle Creek drainage. Actions involve commercial harvest of timber, non-commercial thinning, piling fuels and prescribed burning. Four alternatives were analyzed. The proposed action would require three Forest Plan Amendments to implement. Alternative 4 would require no forest plan amendments. Maps have been corrected for alternatives 2, 3, and 4. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
