The Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) is hosting an open house to inform the community about the Cache Creek to Josie’s Ridge Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project. The event will take place on Thursday, June 25, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Jackson Ranger District Office.
Project Details
The project aims to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires in the area by thinning and removing dense vegetation near homes and critical infrastructure. Up to 1,677 acres will be affected by forest-thinning and pile burning over multiple years.
Treatments are designed to enhance the growth, quality, vigor, and composition of the vegetation on the landscape while achieving fuel reduction goals. Two onsite field trips are also planned for those interested in seeing the area where the dense landscape would be thinned.
