The Fishlake National Forest is proposing to reduce conifer encroachment into sage-grouse priority habitat by using mechanical treatments and broadcast burning, with seeding as needed. Up to six guzzlers will be installed for wildlife and game use.
Location
Proposed activities are on the Fremont River and Richfield Ranger Districts, adjacent to Hwy 72 in the Last Chance drainage on the east side of Hilgard Mountain.
