Summary: The proposed action is to utilize various methods of prescribed fire and mechanical treatments to reduce hazardous fuels, restore plant communities, and improve wildlife habitat diversity. The emphasis on treatments in forested areas would be to reduce densities of small diameter trees and duff and litter accumulations. The emphasis in shrublands, woodlands, and riparian areas would be to move conditions toward historic species composition and structure while reducing fuels in the vicinity of the towns of Burns, Hines, and Riley, as well as numerous ranches, homes, and dwellings.
