From the Missoulian: "Final approval is in for a U.S. Forest Service project that aims to reduce fire risk by logging more than 3,600 acres along the so-called 'Frenchtown Face' from Frenchtown to Ninemile.
"The agency will also use low-intensity, prescribed burns on the logged acreage and another 6,500 acres to further reduce fire danger."
The Lolo National Forest has posted the final environmental impact statement and related maps for the Frenchtown Face Ecosystem Restoration Project on its website.
