Garnet Valley Enhancement

This project was phase one of a two part project to re-establish ecological diversity, resiliency, and ungulate habitat using prescribed fire equivalent to the natural fire regime. This project was collaborative and used local indigenous knowledge and science. Additionally, hand treatments and spot burning were used to reduce overall wildfire risk. Slashing and a black line perimeter burn is to be completed. Piles of slash were burnt with other funding sources for the prescribed burn. Outcomes were a thinned stand which enhanced mule deer habitat.
