Abstract
Proposes to utilize a combination of prescribed burning and silvicultural thinning to reduce fuels and restore fire adapted ecosystems on 5000 acres of ponderosa pine dominated forests and woodlands, and 26,500 acres of sagebrush-steppe. Treatments include hazardous fuels reduction, noncommercial thinning, commercial thinning, pile burning, underburning, broadcast burning, jackpot burning, juniper cutting, and conifer cutting.
