The OFC is assisting the ONF with a restoration thinning stewardship sale for one of the units as part of the final decision. The EA found the following needs for this project are: (1) to increase structural and habitat diversity via reducing the density of trees in second-growth LSRs (2) to contribute to the economic vitality of local communities (3) to improve Riparian Reserve conditions to meet Aquatic Conservation Strategy Objectives and, (4) to create a road system that meets transportation needs while reducing risk to aquatic habitats. The Wynoochee project encompasses more than 40,000 acres managed by the Olympic National Forest in Grays Harbor County. The Collaborative provided comments during the draft plan public comment period.
