Description

The Poncha Pass Douglas-fir Beetle Suppression Project will deliver 18 acres of forest health restoration and hazardous fuels reduction in Saguache County, Colorado adjacent to Chaffee County. The dry-mixed conifer forests in the Poncha Pass area have been decimated by a combination of Western spruce budworm (WSB) and Douglas-fir beetle. The project area includes a patch of Douglas-fir beetle related mortality, and significant active beetle infestation. The project’s primary goal is to remove Douglas-firs actively infested with bark beetles to reduce population size. Additional goals are to remove trees standing dead and significantly defoliated from WSB to restore stands to desirable conditions to reduce the wildfire risk. This project may include traditional timber harvest, mastication and handwork to achieve the stated goals.
