Forestry Practices Tour

Background

Thirty participants attended the Forestry Practices Tour, where we saw the following:

•  Beaver Creek Timber sale in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
•  Red Ryder Vegetation project where a combination of thinning and prescribed fire was used to improve habitat and resilience.
•  Temple Flat logging operation on Temple Flat where lodgepole pine was being harvested.
•  Bug Lake Project where 20+ acres of lodgepole pine has been thinned by hand to improve forest health.
•  Rex property where habitat improvements remain ongoing, including the creation of a shaded fuelbreak and thinning.
