Approach

Maintain current habitat, restore historical habitat, promote potential future habitat, and increase resilience of these habitats and surrounding habitats.

Tactics

  • Strategically place fuel breaks to minimize risk to important habitat areas.
  • Restore disturbance regimes by reducing accumulated fuel loads.
  • Identify areas in the future that will have the disturbance regimes characteristic of late-successional and mature forests and big sagebrush
  • and mange to promote their development and resilience.
