Fuel reduction and forest health activities in the Greensprings area.

Overview

Description:

This strategy aims to implement fuels reduction and forest health activities in an area known as the Greensprings, which is located at the crossroads of the Cascade, Klamath, and Siskiyou mountain ranges. The Greensprings area is known for its ecological values and for its unique geological features and archeological significance. Several stressors such as fire suppression, past forest management, and land use decisions have generated dense, overcrowded forest stands in this area, resulting in declining tree vigor. The oldest and most structurally valuable trees are at risk of high-intensity wildfire. This strategy also addresses other natural resource concerns such as altered water quality and quantity, air quality, degraded fish and wildlife habitat, and reduced biodiversity and ecosystem resiliency.

Eligibility:
