Timber harvest operations on about 132 acres within the Farragut Wildlife Management Area will get underway soon near Bayview.
The harvest will take place south of East Perimeter and west of North Perimeter roads. Goals include increasing sunlight through the forest canopy, retaining wildlife habitat and increasing wildlife diversity within the Wildlife Management Area.
The project will also involve removing diseased trees, reducing fuel loads, and improving existing road systems in the area to support emergency services and first responders.
“Overall, the project will benefit wildlife, habitat, forest health and public safety,” a press release from Idaho Fish and Game said.
