Fremont-Winema National Forest — Project Detail

The Klamath Landscape Resilience: Annie Creek project will implement project activities to strengthen forest resilience to drought, insects and and disease, invasive species, and catastrophic wildfire to further the goals outlined in the USDA Forest Service Strategic Plan FY 2022-2026.

The Fremont-Winema National Forest proposes to implement a suite of post fire recovery activities within the Wrights Spring Fire area.

The primary purpose of the Paradise Restoration Project is ecosystem restoration. Action is needed to restore healthy forest ecosystems, improve wildlife habitats, and protect life, property, and infrastructure within and adjacent to the project area.

Project uses understory thinning, mastication, and prescribed fire to create and maintain fuel breaks and defensible space. Small trees are thinned, slash piled or burned, and fuels reduced through hand/machine piling, pile burning, underburning, and mastication.

Quartz Mountain Gold Ltd., a subsidiary of Q-Gold Resources Ltd., proposes to conduct mineral exploration activities on federal unpatented lode mining claims located on National Forest System (NFS) lands administered by the Fremont-Winema National Forest.

The Forest Service is proposing to implement herbicide treatments for forest re-establishment and trail maintenance to reduce competing vegetation on approximately 43,000 acres of Forest System Lands that have been impacted by recent wildfires.

The proposed action includes treatments on approximately 4,260 acres including vegetation restoration and resilience treatments, fuel breaks, road maintenance, and recreation enhancement activities.

There is a need to improve the network of wildfire control and suppression features in a high-risk region by creating 12-miles of shaded fuel breaks along Clover Creek Road on Green Diamond Resource Company lands.

The Chiloquin Ranger District aims to improve resource conditions and increase forest resilience to insect and disease infestation in a portion of the Bly Mountain planning area.

There is a need to re-establish the northern boundary of the Buck/Indian cattle allotment to allow better management of the northern section of the allotment.

This project proposes to install a pre-engineered shelter on the edge of a large meadow, known locally as Buffalo Meadow.

Site preparation and planting of native trees on approximately 17,000 acres in the Cougar Peak Fire footprint. Creating and maintaining linear fuel breaks by reducing vegetation and down woody debris adjacent to roads in the project area.

Working together, Federal, State and Private land managers have the opportunity to reintroduce fire on an interagency landscape in the Paddock Butte area.

There is a need to relocate the Mt. Mcloughlin Trailhead and parking area to avoid initial and long-term maintenance costs associated with constructing a new bridge across the Cascade Canal.

BPA has identified roads that require maintenance to ensure safe access to the LAPI-CHIL-1 transmission facilities. The road maintenance will allow BPA to also perform wood pole replacements that need to be completed along the transmission line.

There is a need to inoculate three seed orchards in late July/August to stimulate cone production. Available seed is an obstacle reforestation needs. Research has shown that this treatment may increase the production of cones.

Midstate Electric currently has seven separate permits and we are working on combining all seven into one authorization. This Master Permit will also be used to create an Operating Plan to be in compliance with the new FSH 2709.11 Ch. 80.

The Forest Service proposes to allow the permittee of the Yainax Butte Allotment to excavate the identified springs to find water and develop a water system off the spring to provide water to the cattle on the south end of the Dry Prairie pasture.

This project will connect the Chiloquin Ranger District to the town of Chiloquin's sewer line
