Project Narrative
The Sunny Cove fire was started by a lightning strike on July 17, 2023 and burned for approximately a week. Firefighters were able to contain the fire to approximately 68 acres. The burn area contains steep terrain, many large boulders and also standing juniper tree skeletons. To reduce the risk of erosion, weed colonization, and to improve wildlife habitat the Ashley National Forest in Collaboration with the Utah Watershed Restoration Initiative seeded the fire via aerial application on October 30, 2023.

Future Management
The project area is being monitored by the Ashley NF ecologist The monitoring data will help us determine if a reseeding is needed in the future and if herbicide is needed for any weed issues that may arise.
