La Barge Vegetation Restoration Project
Continued fire suppression has attributed to the homogeneous, older, conifer-dominated landscape. There are currently large areas of the late secessional mountain sagebrush habitat resulting in the reduction of diversity in herbaceous plants. There remains a need to increase the health, vigor and resiliency of forest stands while diversifying the sagebrush successional stages. The La Barge Vegetation Restoration project area is 52,573 acres. 2,217 acres have been identified for future prescribed fire operations to be conducted over multiple years and broken into smaller units.
LaBarge Rx Project, Units 8, 9, 10, 17, and 29 (Approximately 18 miles southeast of Smoot, WY, Unit 29 Tri Basin Divide, and Units 8, 9, 10, and 17 are approximately 11 miles up LaBarge Creek Road, between Clear Creek and Crystal Creek)
