Cedro Landscape Restoration Project
Specifically, land managers are proposing lower tree densities and an uneven age structure. The proposed treatments would include a combination of mechanical (mastication or harvesting equipment) and hand thinning, prescribed fire, trail re-route and decommission of non-system trails, and invasive plant treatments.
The proposed analysis area is approximately 18,800 acres in size. The proposed invasive plant treatments and trail work would occur within the entire analysis area. The vegetation restoration treatments and scenery management would occur on 13,100 acres within the analysis area.
