Project Description

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to salvage harvest trees from BLM managed lands in the East Garnet Mountains of Powell County, MT, which burned during the 2025 Windy Rock Fire, and trees in the immediate vicinity that are likely to be impacted by the anticipated influx of bark beetles immediately following the fire. The proposal also includes road maintenance on BLM managed roads in the area to meet and maintain Forestry Best Management Practices (BMPs). Additionally, the salvage area would be reforested via planting of native conifer species following the proposed salvage.
