Cedar City, Utah - The Bureau of Land Management's Cedar City Field Office has issued a final decision for the Indian Peak Range Watershed Restoration Plan Environmental Assessment.
Under the EA, crews will conduct multiple types of vegetation treatments around the Hamlin and Pine Valleys, and along the Indian Peak Range. These treatments are designed to remove encroached pinyon pine and juniper trees; restore resilient grasses, forbs, and shrubs; and reduce invasive annual grasses. Areas and treatments were selected with the goal to improve ecological conditions and strengthen long-term landscape resiliency.
Proposed treatments include prescribed fire, and mechanical, manual and herbicide vegetation treatment methods.
For more information about the project, visit the BLM National NEPA Register.
