All treatment areas are consistent with the MFRC principles and include prescribed fire, ponderosa pine and aspen restoration, and fuels reduction over\u00a0approximately 2,289 acres.\u00a0 The Lincoln RC toured Stonewall to review how new wildlife habitat data layers might help respond to comments from the NEPA processes, and plan to respond to the final EIS.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Dalton Mountain<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Dalton Mountain area project proposes treating approximately 2,000 acres across a 40,000-acre landscape, and includes prescribed fire on inventoried roadless acres. Outside roadless areas, treatments include\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 using prescribed fire, retaining large diameter ponderosa pine\/Douglas-fir trees and aspen stands, fuels reduction in the wildland urban interface, and restoration of lodgepole pine-dominated mixed conifer stands.\u00a0Restoration of mixed conifer stands will be informed by the MFRC\u2019s Appendix C and on-the-ground fire history data.\u00a0 These treatments are guided by an adaptive management approach developed in\u00a0partnership with The Wilderness Society and The University of Montana.\u00a0 The Lincoln RC plans to help monitor and communicate results to the MFRC and interested parties.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Travel Planning<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Lincoln RC organized an effort to involve motorized and non-motorized interests, along with fisheries\/aquatics interests in discussions on travel planning and where it overlaps with the restoration principles. This\u00a0resulted in hosting additional meetings and discussions beyond the\u00a0\u00a0 standing monthly meetings. These discussions also involved obtaining\u00a0commitments of planning resources for NEPA to support implementation of treatments and monitoring of results.\u00a0 The Lincoln RC plans to continue to engage in this process going forward.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-270\" data-postid=\"270\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-270 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lincoln\u00a0Restoration\u00a0Committee\u00a0is working with the Helena National Forest on\u00a0the following projects.
