Implement post-fire recovery and ecological forest health treatments on 2,000 acres of Klamath National Forest lands in the Little Humbug, Vesa, Humbug, and Clear Creek watersheds that burned (most acres at high severity) in the 2022 McKinney wildfire. The overall project objectives are to reforest burned timberlands and return forests and wildland habitat to a more natural, fire resilient condition and to protect water quality in Little Humbug, Vesa, Humbug and Clear Creeks, all tributaries to the Klamath River. Treatments include slashing dead material, hand-piling portions of slashed material, burning hand-piles, and hand-planting native mixed-conifer, hardwood, and riparian species. The proposed project will provide post- fire recovery by reforesting and stabilizing burned areas. Strategic fuels reductions in selected areas of high-severity burn are proposed. The project will consider climate change and other stressors and include activities and actions to increase fire resilience.
