This contract targeted timber-thinning areas in areas not accessible to ground-based equipment and was part of the Flagstaff Watershed Protection Project.
This photo was taken on May 24, 2014, on the northwestern flank of the Slide Fire that began in Oak Creek Canyon. This low-intensity burnout operation helped secure the flank and keep the Slide Fire from progressing any farther along the northwestern flank.

The Coconino National Forest surrounds thriving communities in northern Arizona that are part of an area, known as the Wildland Urban Interface, where human development meets undeveloped wildland. While these beautiful and diverse forests and landscapes contribute to an amazing lifestyle, thriving economies and wildlife habitat, they also create complexities for forest managers.
When the monsoon season is in full swing and we navigate wildfire season, the Coconino National Forest is meeting the wildfire crisis head on. Sounds of feller bunchers, logging trucks, and prescribed fire smoke in the air all demonstrate a broad commitment to protecting not only our national forests, but also the surrounding communities� commitments and partnerships as well.
