Document Description
The proposed activities include fuels reduction treatments utilizing hand cutting and piling, biomass removal, mastication, as well as prescribed fire (i.e., broadcast and pile burning). Future maintenance would be included to ensure the effectiveness of the original implementation. Maintenance methods would include hand treatment, mastication, broadcast burning, targeted grazing, and herbicide application. Broadcast burning would be used on a frequency to approximate the historical fire regime, while herbicide would be used to reduce the density and continuity of resprouting brush and to control invasive, non-native weeds.
