West Zone Aspen Survey and NEPA Analysis BPA Call Order

The proposal to help achieve Forest desired future conditions is to treat aspen across the West Zone of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. This treatment will require National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis and concurrent National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 Consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). A transportation network evaluation to determine access to aspen and balsam fir stands proposed for treatment will be needed to finalize the proposed action, and hawk surveys are needed to inform the wildlife analysis in the environmental assessment (EA) required by the NEPA.
