This project will reduce the risk of landscape-level disturbance and increase forest resiliency to insect and disease. Vegetation treatments would take place on less than 3,000 acres in the eastern portion of the Barlow Ranger District.
Location
The project area is bordered to the west by Forest Road 4430; to the east by the Forest boundary, to the north by Forest Roads 1720 and 4431; and to the south by the Eightmile Creek drainage.
