Final Methods
The area was treated with bulldozer pulling a cable-chain with a drum in the center to allow proper leverage to pulling over mixed aspen and conifer trees on the Cold Springs Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Over this time approximately 129 acres were treated using this method on the WMA.
*
Project Narrative
The treatment area has seen conifer encroachment into the aspen stands. DWR has been working with landowners and BLM in this area to do prescribed burns and other mechanical treatments to encourage aspen regeneration for wildlife and watershed health. This treatment was used as a trial at this location. This area will be monitored for aspen regeneration and stand health in the upcoming years.
*
Future Management
This area is a Wildlife Management Area (WMA). It will continue to be managed for wildlife values. The area was monitored by Range Trend before treatments occurred. They will come back and do post treatment monitoring 3 years post treatment.
