BLM Seeks Input for Timber Project near Gold Hill, Schedules Public Meeting
The Bureau of Land Management is asking for input on proposed forest management activities near Gold Hill.
The Queens Gold project proposes commercial thinning and hazardous fuels reduction on approximately 4,000 acres of BLM-administered lands. The project is designed to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire and to contribute to the Medford District’s timber quotas as mandated by the O&C Act.
The estimated 5.5 million board feet of timber produced by this work will also provide critical supplies for construction, support local jobs and stimulate economic activity.
On December 1, the BLM will open a 36-day public scoping period to receive public input that will help guide the environmental assessment of the project. A public meeting is scheduled for December 4 at 5:30 p.m. at the Rogue River Library, 412 East Main Street.
