WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Mont. — The Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest has finalized the Bonanza Project, which includes timber harvest and prescribed fire in the Castle Mountains east of White Sulphur Springs.
The plan covers nearly 37,000 acres and aims to reduce wildfire risk and restore forest health following extensive pine beetle damage.
Roughly 2,000 acres will be harvested, and 918 acres will undergo prescribed burning.
Project work is set to begin later this summer.
The Forest Service partnered with the Montana DNRC on the project.
