Wilderness Restoration (Let the Healing Begin)

The "Wilderness and Backcountry Site Restoration Guide" (0623–2815–MTDC) examines human impacts at remote recreation sites. The guide will help you decide whether restoration is appropriate and, if so, will help you develop a site-specific plan that incorporates ecological concepts and addresses human use.

The guide describes site-specific restoration techniques—such as site preparation, soil amendments, planting, and mulching—that don't rely on motorized tools or mechanized transport.

The guide is available electronically, both in HTML and Acrobat formats. It is not available in hard copy.

For more information, contact Mary Ann Davies, project leader (phone: 406–329–3981; e-mail: mdavies@fs.fed.us).
