The forest, collaborating with BLM and WGFD, proposes to broadcast burn approx. 1400 acres to reduce conifer overstory and promote Aspen suckering. Desired vegetation conditions include reduced fuel loading and improved desirable wildlife habitat.
Location
East of the Dry Fork of Smiths Fork River and west of Hobble Creek Campground, near Cokeville, Wyoming.
