Title: Happy Valley MT-- Fuel Mitigation Demonstration Project
Type: Fuelbreaks
Education
Demonstration projects
Jurisdiction: City/town
State: Montana
Program Description: Happy Valley Fuels Mitigation Project -- A Demonstration of Six Fuel Reduction Alternatives for Forested Land.

Happy Valley Fuels Mitigation Project grew out of the 1994 fire season, in which the Little Wolf Fire burned 4,838 acres near the Star Meadows neighborhood. The project was funded by FEMA. In November of 1997, Montana Department of Natural Resources created a fuel treatment program on state land adjacent to an "at risk" subdivision. This demonstration project was a new approach to showing the public the benefit of fuel reduction around residential areas and demonstrating the aesthetic quality of thinning.

In the demonstration area, the last logging was in 1972. Since that time, the forest had developed without intervention, becoming overgrown. The thinning operation removed many of the smaller, competing trees. Thinning reduced stands from about 2,000 stems per acre to 100/200 stems per acre. The project involved 30 acres, divided into 6 sections of approximately 5 acres each. Five sections were commercially thinned and one section was hand-thinned. In three sections piles were burned, in one slash was chipped, one used jackpot burning, and one used machine trampling. Costs in equipment and man-hours were detailed for each alternative. In this way, property owners can view the finished landscape and choose the best method for thinning their property. The site will be re-evaluated for thinning every three to five years.
