The proposed activities would plant trees on approximately 800 acres in high burn severity areas (the Tower Fire burned approximately 5,500 acres on the Colville NF).
Location
Planting will occur along roads (5080, 5080321, 5080310, 1920306, and 1200), within the Mill Creek salvage unit, and existing plantations that suffered high mortality.
