Accelerating Vegetative Treatments to Improve
Condition Class (also known as our Fuels Strategy
Meeting!!!)
Today’s Objectives
Quick review of HFRA
Expected outcomes for today
Meeting Objectives??
Meeting Objectives
1. Gain a common understanding of how R6’s hazardous fuels reduction program is integrated with other veg treatments.
Meeting Objectives
1. Gain a common understanding of how R6’s hazardous fuels reduction program is integrated with other veg treatments.
2. Determine how the Region will achieve its fuels targets.
Meeting Objectives
1. Gain a common understanding of how R6’s hazardous fuels reduction program is integrated with other veg treatments.
2. Determine how the Region will achieve its fuels targets.
3. Review a draft Regional integrated 5 year strategy to accelerate veg treatments
HFRA Bipartisan Support
8 of 10 members of Congress voted for it!!!
Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA) Purpose:
1. Reduce wildfire risk to communities, municipal water supplies and other at-risk Federal land through collaboration
planning,
prioritizing and
implementing fuels reduction
Healthy Forest Restoration Act (HFRA) Purpose:
1. Reduce wildfire risk to communities, municipal water supplies and other at-risk Federal land through collaboration
planning, prioritizing and
implementing fuels reduction2. Authorize grant programs to improve
commercial value of forest biomass
3. Enhance efforts to protect watersheds and address threats to forest and rangeland health from events such as catastrophic wildfire
3. Enhance efforts to protect watersheds and address threats to forest and rangeland health from events such as catastrophic wildfire
4. Promote systematic gathering of info to address impact of insect and disease infestations and other damaging agents

5. Improve capacity to detect insect and disease infestations at an early stage
6. Protect, restore, and enhance forest ecosystem components-a. Promote recovery of T&ESb. Improve biological diversityc. Enhance productivity & carbon sequestration
What does the Administration expect?
Administration Expects:
Work at Landscape Scale
Administration Expects:• Work at Landscape Scale
Work in collaboration w/ communities and states, tribal, local & Federal agencies to implement NFP & HFRA
Administration Expects:• Work at Landscape Scale• Work in collaboration w/ communities and states,
tribal, local & Federal agencies to implement NFP & HFRA
Use alternative analysis process in HFRA to get beyond process gridlock and get fuels treatments accomplished that alter the condition class on the landscape
Administration Expects:• Work at Landscape Scale• Work in collaboration w/ communities and states, tribal,
local & Federal agencies to implement NFP & HFRA• Use alternative analysis process in HFRA to get beyond
process gridlock and get fuels treatments accomplished that alter the condition class on the landscape
To fully use where appropriate all the tolls in HFI administrative actions and in HFRA
(CE’s, Stewardship Authority, etc)

Collaborate, collaborate, collaborate
Would this be what some would call cheap & easy

Expected Outcomes for today and tomorrow
Expected Outcomes:
1. Sharing & review of individual forests, integrated strategic plans to move watersheds from condition class 2 & 3
Expected Outcomes:
1. Sharing & review of individual forests, integrated strategic plans to move watersheds from condition class 2 & 3
2. Better understand how forests are:
a. working across boundaries & in collaboration with neighboring agencies to achieve landscape scale results
