BLM CO - Vegetation Management and Fuels Reduction.

This project/program is to restore and maintain healthy, productive ecosystems and wildlife populations through management activities. The project should include (but not limited to):â¿¢ Commercial and non-commercial thinning of forestsâ¿¢ Hand and mechanized treatment of vegetation to reduce hazardous fuel conditions and or improve habitats â¿¢ Seeding of appropriate wildlife browse and forage species for habitat enhancement, and seeding for erosion and noxious weed control on sites disturbed by management activities. Seedingâ¿¿s will be of native species unless science and experience have proven non-native, non-invasive species are more effective. â¿¢ Layout of treatment unit boundaries under the direct supervision of BLM staff. â¿¢ Prescribed fire may be part of the overall project. Federal agency personnel will serve as the lead partner for any prescribed fire planning and operations. All personnel used for prescribed fire operations will meet NWCG requirements.
