Rainwater Wildlife Area Hand Thinning and Slash Piling
FHT-2022-00010
Not identified

Completed
The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) and the Washington Department of Natural Resources’ Forest Resilience Division developed an agreement to complete 28 acres of precommercial hand thinning and slash piling on the CTUIR-owned Rainwater Wildlife Area. The project’s primary objective was to improve forest health by increasing resilience to drought and insect and disease outbreak, as well as the potential for high severity wildfire. Given the value of the Rainwater property as wildlife habitat, a related objective was improving ungulate forage conditions.
