The project would use prescribed fire in the Three Sisters Wilderness area to modify vegetation and fuels to sufficiently reduce the threats to values at risk outside of Wilderness in order to allow fire to play a more natural role within Wilderness
Location
There are two focus areas: Scott Mountain on the Willamette NF and Cascade Lakes on the Deschutes NF
