Public takes part in revision of Lolo Forest plan
The Wildland Urban Interface is the lands that are in proximity to structures as mapped by County Wildfire Protection Plans. It is the culmination point where state, federal and local land management plans and programs must merge in an equitable and functional manner.
An area where resource management activities on agency lands including timber, recreation, fish and wildlife, roads and access, and most importantly forest health and public safety is compatible with management activities by private property owners, businesses, farmers, ranchers, law enforcement and local government bodies.
All of Mineral County communities are located in, or near, the Wildland Urban Interface so fire hazards pose a significant threat to life and property. Add to the equation that the Lolo National Forest Land Management Plan Revision has begun and one might think years and years of studies, meetings, and possible litigation is on the horizon.
