Almanor Spider Planting 2017

The notice is issued to notify interested parties of a site visit for a project planned to be solicited sometime in the winter months when some or all of the project locations may be inaccessible. Description: Tree seedling planting on 253 acres that includes three items: 1. Full planting of conifer seedlings over 144 acres at 300 trees-per-acre. 4 units ranging 27- 55 acres. All units were burned in 2012, then site prepared in 2016 where all snags were removed, brush was pulled, piled, and will be burned prior to planting. Units will be relatively open and clear of vegetation. Variable terrain. 2. Full planting of conifer seedlings over 12 acres at 300 trees-per-acre. There are 6, 2-acre units that were clear-cut (group selections), site prepared, and are now relatively free of vegetation. Units will be relatively open and clear of vegetation. All units are on relatively flat terrain. 3. Interplanting on 97 acres over 3 units that were burned in 2012. Snags were felled and the units were planted in 2014. Currently, all 3 units are nearly completely covered with 2-5 foot whitethorn brush and will be difficult to move around and plant because a 5-foot radius will need to be cleared of brush and scraped at each planting spot. Approximately 150 trees/acre will be interplanted. Location: Lassen NF, Almanor Ranger District - all units are 1 - 2 miles south and west of Butt Lake.
