Fremont-Pineknot East Restoration Project
The purpose of this project is to restore and enhance fire-adapted pine and pine-oak bluestem woodlands to their full range of historic vegetation composition and structural conditions which occurred under natural disturbance regimes (fire, drought). This project is needed because resiliency, integrity, and sustainability of these ecosystems on the Mark Twain National Forest could be compromised if current conditions, such as dense canopy cover, high tree densities, and lack of fire are allowed to continue.
