North Tarryall (Lake George Vegetation Management)
This project aims to restore resilient ecological conditions in the Front Range forests, reduce catastrophic wildfires, and support long-term sustainability. The watersheds in the area are vital, providing domestic water supply for the Denver metropolitan area.
The project includes timber sale preparation and layout, Aspen stand enhancement, invasive species control (targeting Cheatgrass, Canada Thistle, and Yellow Toadflax), and forest stand improvement through reforestation, hazardous fuel management, and woody invasive species removal. This work will enable the USFS to reintroduce fire to the landscape through broadcast burning, enhancing overall forest health and resilience.
