Fremont-Winema National Forests

Paisley Ranger District:
Upper Sycan Vegetation and Fuels Treatments

Purposes of this project include: reduce fuel loading and ladder fuels; reduce excess and encroaching vegetation to increase vigor, health, and growth rates in the forest ecosystem; improve the quantity and quality of specific wildlife habitats, including goshawk nesting and foraging, bald eagle foraging, deciduous trees, and non-forested mosaics of sagebrush and other forbs/shrubs habitats; and achieve consistency with the Fremont National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) within the Upper Sycan Project Area, including visitor safety on Forest Service roads and the provision of commercially valuable timber as a byproduct of restoration treatments.
