Trapper project environmental assessment

Abstract

Proposes to implement portion of recommendations found in the Blue River Landscape Strategy, a recommended landscape management and watershed restoration plan, an administrative study designed to measure effects on the ground, and a series of analyses of landscape effects over time. Includes using timber harvesting techniques, prescribed fire, snag creation methods to approximate stand structures resulting from historic high severity, and stand-replacement fires and partial-stand replacement fires on 155 acres. Approximately 11.4 miles of existing permanent roads would receive maintenance to facilitate access for logging, and about 1 mile would be decommissioned.
