Description:
Fuel thinning work on Upper and Lower Howler, originally scheduled for June 19, has been delayed until August. Exact start date TBD.
The RMOW is conducting fuel thinning in Rainbow in which will affect the No Flow Zone trails between Rainbow and Emerald, and the Westside - Rainbow mountain bike and hiking trails. Expected end date for crews is early fall.
Active tree-falling and heavy machinery use creates a hazard for the public.
This is important work to reduce the ability of fire to spread from the forest into the community and vice versa, and to make wildfires easier to fight. In fuel thinning, mature and deciduous trees are left, while lower branches are pruned, and unmanaged second-growth trees, ground brush and debris are removed.
Thank you for your patience while our crews complete this important work.
