Baker Springs Aquatic Resource Protection Project

Fishlake National Forest Wayne, Utah Fremont River Ranger District

The Fremont River RD proposes vegetation treatments to protect aquatic watersheds and soil productivity; increase resiliency to insects, disease, and uncharacteristic fire; and improve vegetative conditions for wildlife habitat by using an improvement cut to reduce large conifers in the stand.

Location

The Baker Springs project area encompasses approximately 1,170 acres of seral aspen stands on Boulder Mountain near Lone Pine Flat, Cook Pasture, and Miller Lake. Project documentation: https://usfs-public.box.com/s/todfuikia0nrpne3a01qd3cqelpxvdtv
