Various management activities that will move national forest resource conditions closer to the long-term goals published in the Land and Resource Management Plan.

This project addresses concerns over public health and safety on the existing trail system as well as issues caused by user-created trails within the Chadwick recreation area.

This project seeks to improve forest health within the Jones Ranch project area by encouraging species diversity, optimizing stocking, removing trees with declining health, and moving conditions toward those in Appendix A-3 of the Forest Plan
This project realigns a short segment of the Ozark Trail at the Lost Creek crossing in order to mitigate the hazardous condition of the current trail corridor which was created by the development of a cut-bank.
