Document Description
The project will entail the restoration of Look and Luke prairies (approximately 109 acres) in Humboldt Redwoods State Park by means of prescribed burning, removal of encroaching Douglas-fir trees, and control of invasive exotic plants. A low intensity prescribed fire will be implemented between September 16 and December 31. A hand-dug fireline will be installed around the prairie. Encroaching Douglas-fir less than 12" diameter at breast height (DBH) that are not killed in the prescribed burn will be felled or girdled using chainsaws between September 16 and January 31. French broom and Himalayan blackberry will be removed using weed wrenches and shovels. Conditions have been incorporated in the project design to protect wildlife resources, sensitive species, cultural resources and unstable areas.
