Projects

This project covers a Land Exchange (LEX) of approximately 353.7 acres of private lands, adjacent to Mark Twain National Forest (MTNF) land on the Houston/Rolla/Cedar Creek (HRCC) Ranger District for approximately 2,616.11 acres of Federal lands.

This project seeks to address ecological degradation of natural community types and to address a public request for forest products via various vegetation management activities on the Ava/Cassville/Willow Springs (ACW) Ranger District.

This project will be implemented to restore approximately two miles of naturally functioning channels leading to the Black River.

Various management activities that will move national forest resource conditions closer to the long-term goals published in the Land and Resource Management Plan.

The construction of a trailhead and parking area adjacent to Banner Road, (Oregon County Road 430) and a trail connecting to the Blue Ridge Horse Trail, will create a designated western trailhead and terminus for the Blue Ridge Horse Trail.

Vegetation restoration to create ecosystems that are healthy, resilient, and resistant to diseases, insect infestations, and non-native species invasion.

Reroute of several trails to minimize resource damage and allow for better maintenance.

Vegetation management, old growth designation, firewood collection, glade restoration, wetland & pond restoration, transportation system management, decommission illegal routes, & trash removal.

Use and maintenance of a road on National Forest System lands in the County of Stone, State of Missouri, that is 20.00 feet wide including a 14.00 foot wide semi-graveled two track and is 3,214.00 feet long, and covers approximately 1.48 acres in the T23N, R24W, Sections 29 and 32. This is a road us

CECC & WRVEC powerline herbicide use will cover approximately 61 miles or 263 acres of aerial powerline ROW. CECC ROW Expansion will require the removal of approximately 13.6 forested acres expanding the existing widths to 60 feet.

The proposal area is a wildland-urban interface of ~2700ac. Dumping of trash, illicit drug use, user-created trails, and other activities have led to damage to the trail system and safety concerns.

This project addresses concerns over public health and safety on the existing trail system as well as issues caused by user-created trails within the Chadwick recreation area.

Objectives for the Corn Creek project are to improve forest health, provide a wide variety of goods, uses and services including wood products to the local community, improve recreation opportunities, and improve habitat for many species.

The project will connect a new trailhead to the Ozark Trail, decommission the old connector trail, and decommission a segment of FR2901 that lead to the old trailhead.

This project seeks to improve forest health within the Jones Ranch proposal area by encouraging species diversity, optimizing stocking, removing trees with declining health, and moving conditions toward those in Appendix A-3 of the Forest Plan.

This project realigns a short segment of the Ozark Trail at the Lost Creek crossing in order to mitigate the hazardous condition of the current trail corridor which was created by the development of a cut-bank.

Proposal to amend the 2005 Mark Twain National Forest Plan to include updated standards relating to timber management near National Recreation Trails.

Salvage logging operations around the Ozark Trail on the Eleven Point Ranger District

This project is needed to improve cool and warm season grass pasture conditions and enhance native plant communities in grazing allotments, hay production areas, wildlife areas, and wildlife openings.

This proposal is needed to restore and provide a safer vehicle transit connection over Bull Creek, thereby restoring access for service and emergency vehicles and mitigating lengthy rerouting of local traffic.

This project seeks to implement a Zone-wide framework for the Ava/Cassville/Willow Springs and Houston/Rolla/Cedar Creek Ranger Districts to address the need to move existing fire regimes toward an ideal Fire Regime Condition Class.
