Description

The Methodist Front Wildland Urban Interface Forest and Watershed Health Restoration Project will deliver a collaborative, multi-benefit forest restoration pilot project, impacting 478 acres (5 linear miles). Phase 2, (Bender Ranch, Hutchinson Ranch and BLM) of the project will include 96 acres that have been identified for mastication with an additional 10-20 acres of patch openings to be created for wildlife habitat enhancement. Forest types are predominantly pinon-juniper with marginal components of ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, gamble oak, and cottonwood bosques. These forests are unhealthily dense, resulting in increased risk of high severity wildfire and causing detrimental effects on wildlife habitat.

There are two primary goals for the project. First, to reduce behavior of potential future wildfires as they approach wildland-urban interface communities and provide better opportunities for containment and suppression tactics by responders. Second, to increase quantity and quality of herbaceous forage and open travel corridors in critical winter range for regional wildlife. Mastication will be utilized within all forest types to create increased crown spacing between retained trees and tree clumps, reduce ladder fuel loading, eliminate accumulations of dead and downed debris, and reduce the continuity of potential wildfire fuel.
