The National Park Service proposes to mitigate the tree hazards in Cedar Grove primarily by removing the dead and dying trees that pose a risk to public safety, but also through topping/limbing trees, or by moving at risk targets(e.g. picnic tables and campsites) away from tree hazards.
As of January 21,2015, approximately 1,100 trees were identified as hazards and recommended for mitigation in Cedar Grove.
The purpose of this project is to effectively mitigate tree hazards within Cedar Grove. Options include mitigating the hazards in house using National Park Service crews, and/or mitigating the hazards through a surplus property (timber) sale.
The NPS is interested in any public concerns, potential issues, or opportunities related to the proposed tree hazard mitigation. After analyzing comments received during scoping, the NPS will determine the level of analysis needed.
