BLM OR-WA HENRY MOUNTAIN HABITAT PARTNERSHIP, UTAH

archived

Improve forest health and wildlife habitat through a variety of treatments in a variety of forested and non-forested ecosystems. The project will include both commercial and non-commercial thinning of forests, treatment of vegetation to reduce hazardous fuel conditions, removal of plant species that have expanded beyond their normal range (in the face of changed disturbance regimes) and are replacing more desirable species on the specific site, seeding of appropriate wildlife browse and forage species for habitat enhancement, and seeding for erosion and noxious weed control on sites disturbed by management activities. The project may also include layout of treatment unit boundaries and timber marking (both under the direct supervision of BLM staff) and removal of non-functional fences that now pose a hazard to the public and wildlife. Post-treatment monitoring and adaptive management may be included.
