The Deschutes National Forest is reducing wildfire risk on National Forest System lands near Two Rivers North community approximately two miles west of State Highway 58 through the Two Rivers Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project. Work may begin as soon as Monday, July 13.

The project aims to reduce wildfire risk to nearby communities and provide safe ingress and egress routes for the public in the event of wildfire by establishing strategic firebreaks. The project will establish and maintain shaded fuel breaks along Forest Service Roads 5825, 5830, 5830-200, 5835 and portions of the National Forest boundary adjacent to Two Rivers North community.

The shaded fuel breaks will be constructed by reducing hazardous fuels 100-250 feet on both sides of the forest service roads and along portions of the National Forest boundary. Treatments will include thinning, pruning, mastication, hand piling and pile burning on about 212 acres. All treatment areas will be maintained as necessary.

For additional information or questions about the Two Rivers Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project, call the Crescent Ranger District at 541-433-3200 or visit: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/deschutes/projects/66668.
