Document Description
This project involves the treatment of approximately 300 acres of forestland located within the Panther Creek Sub-watershed of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. The goal of this project is to accelerate the development of late-seral forest conditions among the diverse conditions currently found within the watershed and decreasing surface fuels within the fuel management area. Silvicultural treatments will enhance the release and sustain the growth of pre-existing Douglas-firs and reduce the long-term fuel loading.
