Raspberry Crags Stewarship IRSC RFP

Description: The objectives of the Raspberry Crags IRSC project include increasing forest health and vigor, increasing watershed health, reduction of high severity fire potential, and increasing landscape heterogeneity. These objectives will be accomplished through the following: a. A reduction of mid-closed structural stages to encourage the development of more mid-open, late-open conditions. b. Create a mosaic of forest conditions and structures that allow for wildfires to burn and other insect and disease and disturbance agents to occur at intensities and severities and scales within the natural range of variability for specific ecological systems. c. Cut and mechanically pile described timber and fuels. d. Hand cut and pile biomass and non-sawtimber. e. Hand cut and chip biomass and non-sawtimber to clear campsites. f. Cut and remove included timber. g. User created road/trail decommissioning to protect wildlife and roadless areas.
