Tamarack Meadows Enhancement Project

Plumas National Forest Plumas, California Feather River Ranger District

We are proposing to enhance 132 acres of wet meadows and surrounding riparian habitats by removing fire-killer conifers from meadows in the Tamarack Flat area. And sow bare ground with native seed gathered from elsewhere in the same or nearby meadow.

Location

The Tamarack Meadows Enhancement project consists of 8 meadows located approximately 2 miles west of Little Grass Valley Reservoir north of NFS system road 22N94 at Tamarack Flat.
