  1. Accelerating Vegetative Treatments to Improve Condition Class (also known as our Fuels Strategy Meeting!!!)

  2.  Today’s Objectives Quick review of HFRA Expected outcomes for today

  3. Meeting Objectives??

  4. Meeting Objectives • Gain a common understanding of how R6’s hazardous fuels reduction program is integrated with other veg treatments.

  5. Meeting Objectives • Gain a common understanding of how R6’s hazardous fuels reduction program is integrated with other veg treatments. • Determine how the Region will achieve its fuels targets.

  6. Meeting Objectives • Gain a common understanding of how R6’s hazardous fuels reduction program is integrated with other veg treatments. • Determine how the Region will achieve its fuels targets. • Review a draft Regional integrated 5 year strategy to accelerate veg treatments

  7. HFRA Bipartisan Support8 of 10 members of Congress voted for it!!!

  8. Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA) Purpose: 1. Reduce wildfire risk to communities, municipal water supplies and other at-risk Federal land through collaboration  planning,  prioritizing and  implementing fuels reduction

  9. Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA) Purpose: 1. Reduce wildfire risk to communities, municipal water supplies and other at-risk Federal land through collaboration  planning,  prioritizing and  implementing fuels reduction 2. Authorize grant programs to improve commercial value of forest biomass

  10. 3. Enhance efforts to protect watersheds and address threats to forest and rangeland health from events such as catastrophic wildfire

  11. 3. Enhance efforts to protect watersheds and address threats to forest and rangeland health from events such as catastrophic wildfire 4. Promote systematic gathering of info to address impact of insect and disease infestations and other damaging agents

  12. 3. Enhance efforts to protect watersheds and address threats to forest and rangeland health from events such as catastrophic wildfire 4. Promote systematic gathering of info to address impact of insect and disease infestations and other damaging agents 5. Improve capacity to detect insect and disease infestations at an early stage

  13. 3. Enhance efforts to protect watersheds and address threats to forest and rangeland health from events such as catastrophic wildfire 4. Promote systematic gathering of info to address impact of insect and disease infestations and other damaging agents 5. Improve capacity to detect insect and disease infestations at an early stage 6. Protect, restore, and enhance forest ecosystem components- a. Promote recovery of T&ES b. Improve biological diversity c. Enhance productivity & carbon sequestration

  14. What does the Administration expect?

  15. Administration Expects:  Work at Landscape Scale

  16. Administration Expects: • Work at Landscape Scale  Work in collaboration w/ communities and states, tribal, local & Federal agencies to implement NFP & HFRA

  17. Administration Expects: • Work at Landscape Scale • Work in collaboration w/ communities and states, tribal, local & Federal agencies to implement NFP & HFRA  Use alternative analysis process in HFRA to get beyond process gridlock and get fuels treatments accomplished that alter the condition class on the landscape

  18. Administration Expects: • Work at Landscape Scale • Work in collaboration w/ communities and states, tribal, local & Federal agencies to implement NFP & HFRA • Use alternative analysis process in HFRA to get beyond process gridlock and get fuels treatments accomplished that alter the condition class on the landscape To fully use where appropriate all the tolls in HFI administrative actions and in HFRA (CE’s, Stewardship Authority, etc)

  19. Administration Expects: • Work at Landscape Scale • Work in collaboration w/ communities and states, tribal, local & Federal agencies to implement NFP & HFRA • Use alternative analysis process in HFRA to get beyond process gridlock and get fuels treatments accomplished that alter the condition class on the landscape • To fully use where appropriate all the tolls in HFI administrative actions and in HFRA (CE’s, Stewardship Authority, etc) To accomplish any and all treatments toward community risk reduction and healthy forests and communities

  20. Administration Expects: • Work at Landscape Scale • Work in collaboration w/ communities and states, tribal, local & Federal agencies to implement NFP & HFRA • Use alternative analysis process in HFRA to get beyond process gridlock and get fuels treatments accomplished that alter the condition class on the landscape • To fully use where appropriate all the tolls in HFI administrative actions and in HFRA (CE’s, Stewardship Authority, etc) • To accomplish any and all treatments toward community risk reduction and healthy forests and communities Collaborate, collaborate, collaborate

  21. Would this be what some would call cheap & easy acres???

  22. Expected Outcomes for today and tomorrow

  23. Expected Outcomes: • Sharing & review of individual forests, integrated strategic plans to move watersheds from condition class 2 & 3

  24. Expected Outcomes: • Sharing & review of individual forests, integrated strategic plans to move watersheds from condition class 2 & 3 • Better understand how forests are: a. working across boundaries & in collaboration with neighboring agencies to achieve landscape scale results

  25. Expected Outcomes: • Sharing & review of individual forests, integrated strategic plans to move watersheds from condition class 2 & 3 • Better understand how forests are: a. working across boundaries & in collaboration with neighboring agencies to achieve landscape scale results b. Involved in the development of Community Wildfire Protection Plans

  26. Expected Outcomes: • Sharing & review of individual forests, integrated strategic plans to move watersheds from condition class 2 & 3 • Better understand how forests are: a. working across boundaries & in collaboration with neighboring agencies to achieve landscape scale results b. Involved in the development of Community Wildfire Protection Plans c. Collaborating with local communities & agencies in annual selection of hazardous fuels treatments (NFP goal 2E) & annual selection of ecosystem restoration projects (NFP goal 3C)

  27. Expected Outcomes: • Sharing & review of individual forests, integrated strategic plans to move watersheds from condition class 2 & 3 • Better understand how forests are: a. working across boundaries & in collaboration with neighboring agencies to achieve landscape scale results b. Involved in the development of Community Wildfire Protection Plans c. Collaborating with local communities & agencies in annual selection of hazardous fuels treatments (NFP goal 2E) & annual selection of ecosystem restoration projects (NFP goal 3C) 3. Use the strategic plans of the forests to develop the Region’s 5 year strategy to improve the health of our forests and communities through integrated treatments
