Mad Roaring Mills
Basics
The Mad Roaring Mills priority landscape (or priority planning area) includes three sub-watersheds within the Entiat River drainage (Mad River, Roaring Creek, Mills Creek). The area is 63% US Forest Service, 14% private, 8% industrial forestland, and 15% other land owners.
- Fire risk is highest in western portions of the planning area, particularly on the upper slopes northeast of Entiat Ridge.
- Projected warming over the next 20-40 years will likely shift climate conditions suitable for moist and cold forest towards conditions suitable for dry forest. Low elevations and south-facing slopes may no longer support forest.
- Treating 41-60% of forested acres (13,500 - 20,000 acres) is recommended to increase resilience and reduce fire risk to communities using a combination of mechanical, prescribe fire, and managed wildfire treatments.
- Treatment priority is high in western and eastern portions of the planning area based on fire risk, drought vulnerability, current forest structure, and fire transmission to communities.
