The Fillmore Ranger District proposes to implement vegetation treatments designed to thin decadent stands of sagebrush in order to rejuvenate grasses, forbs, and shrubs which will improve big game habitat and ecosystem diversity and resilience.
Location
The proposed project area includes areas near Big Hollow, Deer Springs, Burnt Hollow, and Mud Spring on the south end of the Pahvant Mountain Range of the Fillmore Ranger District.
