Project Narrative
The purpose of the project was to restore the mountain meadows and stream stability in the Petty Mountain area. Encroaching conifers were removed from mountain meadows to maintain the meadow community for the benefit of wildlife species such as elk, deer, moose and other mountain meadow obligate species. Originally, 806 acres were proposed for lop and scatter, but it was found that the East Fork Fire had burned some of the area. Therefore, the completed acres were reduced to 696 acres. This part of the project was completed to project specifications. The Stream restoration of the project was delayed pending water right permitting. In 2023 it became evident that the Forest Service would not get the permit to do the stream restoration. Thus the stream restoration portion of the project will not be completed.

Future Management
Repeat photography will be conducted to monitor the lop and scatter portion of the project as well as migratory bird surveys. It is anticipated that treatment would not be needed again for 30+ years.
