Trout Lake
Basics
The Trout Lake planning area is dominated by large patches of dense forest in the central and southern portions that create high to moderate fire risk. Ownership of forestland is dominated by US Forest Service (61%), as well as DNR (16%), private industrial (14%), and small private (10%).
- Based on current conditions data from 2015 and 2016, shifting an estimated 17,500 - 31,000 acres from dense to open forest is recommended to move the landscape into a resilient condition while maintaining 52-64% of the landscape in dense forest to provide for habitat, wood production, and carbon storage. Maintenance treatments on existing open forest are needed on an estimated 1,000-2,000 acres. In sum, treating 17-31% of the forested acres is recommended.
- The US Forest Service has two signed NEPA decisions (Upper White and Coyote) that they are currently implementing. Upper White contains 7,071 acres of planned treatments. Coyote contains 4,763 acres of treatments.

Projects can be associated with multiple Priority Landscapes, but the simple project location marker is mapped in a single location. Therefore, some Projects may appear outside the Priority Landscape boundary.
