The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Moab Field Office has completed an environmental assessment (EA) and is seeking comments on a proposed restoration and fuels treatment project south of Moab. The Black Ridge Fuels Reduction for Vegetative Restoration and Resource Protection Project would reduce pinyon and juniper along Black Ridge and surrounding areas where tree densities are crowding out understory vegetation and encroaching into sagebrush meadows. In addition, the project targets fuels on BLM lands adjacent to the Pack Creek, Brown’s Hole, and La Sal communities that are at risk from high intensity wildland fire spreading from adjacent public lands.
