Telegraph Vegetation Project
The Telegraph Vegetation Project area is approximately
23,577 acres in size and is located roughly 15 miles south of Helena,
and 5 miles from Elliston, MT in the Little Blackfoot drainage west of
the divide. The overriding purpose of the project is to be responsive
to the mountain pine beetle outbreak in this area, specifically to recover
economic value of dead and dying trees. Additional purposes for the project
include promoting desirable regeneration, reducing fuels and the risk
of catastrophic fire, and maintaining diverse wildlife habitats.
There are 2 maps. One displays the vicinity of the project and the other
displays the proposed action – with links to descriptions and photos.
