December 17, 2014

The Idaho Panhandle National Forest (IPNF) is accepting comments for the Treasured Landscapes Prescribed Fire and Whitebark Pine Restoration Project, located on the Sandpoint Ranger District in the Lightning Creek watershed north of Clark Fork, Idaho. The purpose of the project is to achieve fuels reduction and vegetation restoration goals through the use of prescribed fire at the landscape scale. The scoping notice will describe potential activities and will be available to those interested in the project. The Forest Service invites those interested to comment on the proposed activities. Information about the project and the scoping notice can be found on the project webpage at http://www.fs.usda.gov/projects/ipnf/landmanagement/projects (scroll down and click on the Treasured Landscapes Prescribed Fire and Whitebark Pine Restoration Project).
