Final Methods
Prescribed fire was successfully implemented using both aerial and ground ignition methods to burn in a mosaic burn pattern with mixed severities. Seed was applied by helicopter to a majority of the burn area.
*
Project Narrative
Prescribed fire was successfully applied to the landscape in both the mixed conifer/aspen and mountain brush fuel types. A stand replacement fire was implemented in the mixed conifer to reduce hazardous fuels and promote aspen regeneration. Aspen regeneration occurred post burn during the summer of 2016. approx. 2-4 feet tall aspen is present within the upper elevation stand replacement burned areas.
*
Future Management
Aspen regeneration will be monitored by BYU. Aspen thresholds will be monitored and future actions to mitigate aspen over browsing will be implemented as necessary in conjunction with the DWR, USFS. Cattle grazing and rest periods will be coordinated through our local range specialist in conjunction with the permittees. Range monitoring plots have been established in the lower elevation mixed brush areas to monitor range condition post burn.
