Title

Reds Meadow II - ESCCRP (SNC1532)

Description

The Sierra Nevada Conservancy would provide funding for the Whitebark Institute of Interdisciplinary Environmental Sciences to partner with Inyo National Forest (INF) to conduct forest restoration thinning and pile burning on approximately 1,538 acres of INF lands that surround the town of Mammoth Lakes, including areas around the headwaters of the Middle Fork San Joaquin River, as well as Sherwin Creek, a tributary to the Owens River. The Project will significantly improve both forest resilience and public safety along the single ingress/egress access route used by more than 150,000 annual visitors to Reds Meadow Valley and Devils Postpile National Monument.
