The project focuses on reducing hazardous fuels, establishing healthy regeneration, and recovering the economic value of dead trees. In addition, aspen and whitebark pine can be promoted with treatment. The project also seeks to maintain or improve watershed values. would include approximately 3,800 acres of underburning, site prep, broadcast burning, jackpot burning, and hand piling/burning.
