- Title
- Forest Projects Plan Phase One-B (SNC 1636)
- Description
- The Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) is funding the #1636 Forest Projects Plan Phase One-B (Project), which is a minimum 1,595-acre fuels reduction and forest-health implementation project within Eldorado National Forest (ENF) in the Upper Mokelumne River watershed in eastern Amador County, and implemented in partnership between the Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Authority (UMRWA) and the ENF. Activities under the Project include, but are not limited to: Completing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) required, pre-implementation natural and cultural resource surveys; mechanical thinning/mastication with chips to be spread on the forest floor; and/or hand-thinning. The Project is part of the larger landscape-scale 25,671-acre ENF Forest Projects Plan Phase One project, a timber stand and wildlife-habitat improvement and protection project designed to help prevent high-intensity, larger scale wildfires, improve forest conditions, and protect important wildlife habitat and other resources. Phase One consists of non-commercial actions to reduce forest ladder fuels and implement other forest-management activities on the Amador Ranger District.
