Categorical Exclusion Developing Proposal

Rook Thin

Willamette National Forest Lane, Oregon McKenzie River Ranger District

The McKenzie River Ranger District is proposing 125 acres of variable density thinning in nine 30–40-year-old plantation stands. Thinning these stands will slow fire spread, making the nearby Strube Fire Camp more defensible should wildfire spread near the camp.

Location

The proposed projects areas are located off Forest Service Roads 1900491, 1900492, 2639480, 2639490, 1900399, 1900436, 1900438, 1900439, 1900439, 1900447, and Strube road.
