The project area is proposed for approximately 1,707 acres of federally administered lands on the Big Valley Ranger District, Modoc National Forest. The project is a collaborative partnership between the Modoc National Forest (MDF) and Stewardship West, a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on engineering healthy and resilient forests with a strategic forest stewardship approach to forest management.” - Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture, Decision Memorandum
