Handy Natural Community Restoration Project
The Handy Project area is located on the Eleven Point Ranger District within Oregon, Ripley and Carter counties, Missouri. The nearest town is Handy, Missouri within the project area. The Handy Project will emphasize the restoration and re-establishment of natural vegetation communities with treatment of the vegetation being initiated first to move existing conditions in this 1.1 Management Area toward conditions that would respond better to the re-introduction of fire, also proposed in this project. This would move the area back to the Desired Conditions generally described in the 2005 Mark Twain National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan.
