Be Proactive No Action is not an option No Action is not an option Not a license to treat all fuels everywhere Not a license to treat all fuels everywhere Acknowledgement that: Acknowledgement that: –No action is a decision –May be risks inherent in not acting Move forward, but... Move forward, but...

Be Strategic –Ensure we’re doing the right treatment in the right place at the right time –identify priority areas for reducing the risk of stand replacement wildfires in areas with high habitat values.

Landscape Treatment Prioritization

Fill key knowledge gaps Effects of treatments on trends in overstory, understory, snags, and coarse wood. Effects of treatments on trends in overstory, understory, snags, and coarse wood. Defining owl habitat. Defining owl habitat. Can treatments effectively retain habitat and reduce fire risk within the stand? Can treatments effectively retain habitat and reduce fire risk within the stand?

Fill key knowledge gaps How do owls respond to wildfires How do owls respond to wildfires How do owls and owl prey respond to stand treatments (thinning, prescribed fire, etc.) How do owls and owl prey respond to stand treatments (thinning, prescribed fire, etc.) USDA Forest Service
