Restoration Goals
• Work across all habitat types
• Variable mosaic thinning
• Reduce wildfire severity
• Reintroduce prescribed fire
• Increase open habitat
• Legacy tree survival, vigor
• Structural/species diversity
• Restore native understory
Red arrows = fire-adapted
landscape lacking disturbance
• stand density
• competitive stress
• uniformity of structure
• fuel loads/fire risk
• loss of ecological values
• loss of wildlife habitat
Blue arrows = favorable
