Project Overview
Basics
Planning/Design
The McKinley Scott Fuel Reduction Project is a cross boundary fuel reduction project that will treat over 2,000 acres of forest in the Scott Bar Mountains. The unique partnership includes the Klamath National Forest, Acer Klamath Forest LLC, Oregon State University, Siskiyou County, and Shasta Valley RCD. The project will reduce fuels on a strategic ridgeline among Klamath National Forest and timberlands.

Project Themes
Project Themes
Through thinning treatments and prescribed fire, the project aims to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from uncontrolled wildfire occurring in the otherwise untreated landscape. Additionally, trees remaining after treatment will store carbon with increased growth rates due to reduced competition from removed trees.
This project will directly reduce fuel loads in timber and forest land, create healthier tree densities, and will lead to reduced fire behavior and healthier effects upon wildfire occurring in the project area post-treatment.
