The project intends to salvage an approximate 11 acre blowdown area by removing all down and uprooted timber. No new road construction would be necessary but some road maintenance may be required.
Location
The project is located on the Teton Basin Ranger District, east of Driggs, ID. Access to the area is beyond the 046 Road off of Ski Hill Road, following an unrecognized road to the project area.
