Hunter Mountain Pinyon Pine Ecosystem Fire Treatment and Study

The NPS proposes to analyze the potential impacts of a 50-acre prescribed fire and ecosystem study in order to proceed carefully toward the management goal outlined in the Park's Fire Management Plan.
The proposed project would combine a small-acreage prescribed fire with a fire treatment study involving fire effects study plots in a pinyon pine ecosystem. This study would provide a better understanding of the effects of fire in the Hunter Mountain ecosystem, and valuable data that would enable the National Park Service to proceed toward the goal of managing native plant communities.
