Item Open Access North Fork Mill Creek restoration opportunities decision notice and finding of no significant impact(2008-12-19) Mt. Hood National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Proposed Action proposes to treat approximately 2,800 acres. The purpose of the treatments is to improve forest health conditions (removing root rot pockets, removing diseased trees) and reduce hazardous fuels (removal of surface fuels, removal of ladder fuels, and opening of the canopy). The mechanical fuels reduction treatment methods would consist of tree thinning from below, machine piling, hand thinning, pruning by hand, machine mastication, and manual brush removal. Underburning (prescribed fire) would be used in combination with mechanical treatments (954 acres) or without any additional treatments (610 acres) to restore stand health and to restore fire to its historical role.Item Open Access North Fork Mill Creek restoration opportunities environmental assessment(2008-12) Mt.

Hood National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Announces decision proposing to precommercially thin approximately 5,774 acres of young, overstocked plantations. Approximately 1,028 acres are within riparian reserves. Within the riparian reserves, cut trees would be hand piled as needed, to help provide interim down woody structure. Units adjacent to streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, seeps and springs would have a 30-foot "no cut" buffer from the high water level.Item Open Access South Fork thinning environmental assessment(2006) Mt. Hood National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Proposes a commercial thinning project in plantations. The project is located in the western portion of the Clackamas River Ranger District, Mt. Hood National Forest, Oregon. The trees in the plantations are 40 to 60 years old. The purpose of this project is to thin young forest stands to achieve multiple objectives. The proposed action is to thin and harvest wood fiber from approximately 423 acres of matrix land and approximately 74 acres of riparian reserves.Item Open Access Upper Clack thinning decision notice and finding of no significant impact(2008-08-21) Mt. Hood National Forest (Agency : U.S.)Announces decision initiating a commercial thinning project in plantations ranging in age from 42 to 56 years old. The proposed action is to thin and harvest wood fiber from approximately 1094 acres of matrix land, late-successional reserves and riparian reserves. This action is proposed by the Forest Service in collaboration with the Clackamas Stewardship Partners.Item Open Access Upper Clack thinning environmental assessment(2008) Mt.
