Abstract
Announces decision to exclude EIS for project taking action against western juniper encroachment, which has caused a reduction in the density, patch size, and health and vigor of sagebrush-bunchgrass communities, aspen stands, and riparian communities. Includes using a combination of prescribed fire and juniper cutting, as well as spine ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir thinnings to achieve desirable vegetative composition.
