The proposed project would authorize multiple prescribed burns across the Forest every year (from 10 to 10,000 acres each), as well as associated actions, to restore health and resiliency to vegetation communities on the Sawtooth National Forest.
Location
Prescribed fire would be authorized, where it will achieve desired conditions, on all national forest system lands except designated wilderness, Research Natural Areas, and pinyon pine stands.
