Six Rivers National Forest — Project Detail

The Trinity Summit Restoration Project is a collaboration between the Six Rivers National Forest and the Hoopa Valley Tribe to reduce the risk of wildland fire to communities, restore ecosystems, and establish resilient landscapes.

The Bucktail Project aims to reduce hazardous fuels near the WUI, improve forest health, accelerate late-seral development. and increase resilience to fire, drought, and disease through thinning, oak rehabilitation, and fuels treatments. https://usfs-public.box.com/s/6826380wbeeqc256b5oswtc23i8vzy52

This project will provide defensible space along main roads to expedite safe evacuations and improve wildland firefighter response, safety, and suppression during wildfires.

The IKX Project includes restoration actions across 10,016 acres. These actions include manual, mechanical, and helicopter vegetation management, as well as prescribed fire. Project objectives are to restore historic fire regimes, unique habitats, and conditions conducive for cultural fire.

Approximately 2 miles of new fiber conduit to be installed

The 1,500 acre Rattail Project seeks to apply forest health and fuels reduction treatments, address a legacy sediment site, remove invasive species, mitigate hazards to values at risk, and develop 3.41 miles of temp roads.

Reduce hazardous trees and fuels/slash along moderate to high use roads while revegetating areas within the project footprint to enhance wildfire resiliency, and achieve long-term management goals including the restoration of biodiversity.

Reissuance of two PacifiCorp powerlines authorizations within the Smith River NRA that have expired. No changes are proposed for the new term.

The project is a renewal of the current road maintenance CE currently treating sections of road on the forest to keep them open, safe, and better able to withstand storm events with minimal damage. Project activities listed in the scoping packet.
