Comments are sought on salvage project

NORDMAN — The Idaho Panhandle National Forests is seeking comments on salvage and reforestation activities proposed on National Forest System lands affected by the Tower Fire. 

The lightning-caused fire burned approximately 25,000 acres of mixed ownership lands in 2015.

The project is needed to capture the value of remaining forest products in the project area, provide for public safety, and to re-forest suitable portions of the landscape affected by the Tower Fire.
