The Forest Service has identified a need to reduce the risk of uncharacteristic fire behavior and severity in dry montane, fire-adapted conifer forests that adjoin and intermix with private lands.

The southern portion of the project area is split among three sections; along Columbine Rd near Evergreen, near Maxwell Falls Upper and Lower trailheads, and along FSR 748.1.
