However, there is a lack of evidence about how projects can be designed for these outcomes. Wallowa Resources and the Wallowa- Whitman National Forest (WWNF) partnered to test if mechanical treatment with biomass utilization was cost effective in comparison to hand thinning, piling, and burning using a hazardous fuels reduction project called Reservoir Biomass. We studied the benefits and challenges of this approach.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USWallowa ResourcesForest biomassFuel reduction (Wildfire prevention)Wallowa County (Or.)Wallowa-Whitman National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Other
