Projects

Planting native trees and shrubs along three river riparian field sites which were under special use permit for agricultural purposes and are no longer being used, this project will improve the riparian buffer addressing sedimentation concerns.

Evaluate mechanical, chemical, and biological treatment methods for non-native invasive plants. This project would allow for treatments to occur across the National Forest and in partnership with adjacent, interested land managers or owners.

A special use permit request has been submitted for the use and maintenance of an existing private road to access private property. Approximately 60 feet of this road is on Wayne National Forest land and has been determined to be the only possible access to the private property.

Construct two trail connectors between the Greenwood and Scenic River trails creating a shortened loop, and construct a trail connector between the Baileys trail system and the Snow Fork Event Center for easier access to Buchtel trailhead.

This project will add woody structure to lakes and ponds throughout the Ironton district by shoreline tree felling, Christmas tree drops, and fish cribs to enhance aquatic habitat. Tree girdling for Osprey habitat and fish stocking with desired species will also occur in this project.

This project would increase forest resiliency and restore native mixed hardwood forests by harvesting about 515 acres of planted pine in the Ironton District. https://usfs-public.app.box.com/s/hz0eltj7xumyzw8i08warmhfbm6i15nb

Le-Ax Water District wants to install a new waterline near Loomis Road to provide a secondary feed to the Logan Hocking Elementary School. About 1800 ft long trench, 6 in wide pipe, 12 in trench about 36 in deep, 8 ft wide workspace off road edge.

This project improves the diversity & quality of habitat by using prescribed fire & manual tree cutting. Implementation would open up the forest floor to reduce competition threatening oak seedlings & saplings, & would reduce hazard fuels in the area

This project would authorize aerial applications of mating disruption pheromone and species-specific larvicide known as Gypchek in the Marietta Unit of the WNF. This would be a multi-year project for slow-the-spread treatments.

remove the existing truss bridge that has become deficient with a single span bridge and abutments, about .25 acres outside ROW is needed for traffic and access, grading will occur with reseeding upon completion, minimal tree removal is expected

Conduct a combination of non-commercial vegetation cutting and prescribed fire to promote oak regeneration, improve oak health, improve wildlife habitat, and reduce fuel loading.

This proposal would allow the construction of a 15 ft by 850 ft access road through Wayne National Forest lands to access private property

This Supplemental EA provides additional information and analysis around criteria for the shelterwood harvests in light of a deficiency in the original project that was identified by District Court.

Washington Electric wants to relocate a section of line from private to Forest Service land where about 60 ft will be above ground and 300 ft will be buried. they are requesting a ROW width of 30 ft, some tree cutting and trenching will be needed.

This project is intended to increase forest resiliency and diversity, take steps towards restoration of watershed conditions, and enhance wildlife and rare plant habitat. https://usfs-public.app.box.com/s/iqz37vxpzlw4y51ehradi8vacurge1pp
