Old growth juniper was mapped for the CBRA using aerial photography and field visits. Using this data, a rough estimate of 20,612 acres, or 65% of the CBRA, contains old growth juniper. Areas within the CBRA were mapped to show areas of high priority for restoration/treatments. These areas are shown on the Restoration Map.

Restoration Map

The restoration map also shows the boundaries of the two fuels treatment projects adjacent to or within the Cline Buttes area. The intent of these projects is to use mechanical or prescribed fire to create defensible space and reduce the risk of crown fire.
