Project Narrative
Approximately 37 miles of 30 foot wide lines were cut through conifer stands on Trail Mountain totaling around 134.5 acres of treatment within the 687 acre footprint. Contract was for $42,693.08. These lines will be utilized to facilitate stand replacement prescribed burning of approximately 1000 acres of conifer for aspen regeneration. Remaining funds were utilized to lop and scatter small diameter conifer from approximately 155 acres of aspen stands on the south side of Trail Mountain. Contract was for $37,975. These areas will likely be burned using hand ignitions to provide more moderate intensity fire and allow these declining aspen stands to regenerate.

Future Management
The USFS in collaboration with the DWR and SITLA will continue to carry out prescribed burning on the Trail Mountain project for aspen regeneration over the next several years.
