| Star Valley Front Prescribed Fire | The Greys River Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest plans to implement a broadcast burn in the Star Valley Front Rx Project, Units 8 and 9. Unit 8 is approximately three miles east of Turnerville, WY. The northern boundary is the North Fork Willow Creek Drainage, the eastern boundary is the ridgeline between McDougal Pass and Mt. Fitzpatrick, the southern boundary is Swift Creek, and the western boundary is Willow Creek. Unit 9 is five miles east of Bedford, WY, approximately three miles up the Strawberry Creek Trail. The Star Valley Front Vegetation Treatment Project is located east of Star Valley and consists of a 72,577-acre project area with 31,477 acres of proposed burn units extending from Strawberry Creek south to Cottonwood Creek, from the forest boundary to the top of the Salt River Range. The main purpose for treating vegetation in the Star Valley Front Project Area is to begin restoring a balance of age classes in mountain shrubland, mountain big sagebrush, aspen, and conifer communities. This vegetation treatment is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Forest Service, Wyoming Game & Fish Department, Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resources Trust, and other partners.
