Narrative:
The management plan for this area was approved prior to July, 2008, and does not contain the
eight common management goals and associated quantitative measures that are now required to
be addressed by all management plans. Our progress, during the last two years toward achieving
the common goals and applicable core objectives are described in the narrative below and in
quantitative terms in the tables. Where applicable, this narrative lists outstanding
accomplishments, identifies any deficiencies and corrective actions, and provides other important
or clarifying information for each of the required management goals.
A significant portion of the 1,538 acres requiring restoration are located in the Annutteliga
Hammock, a recently acquired parcel; a timber harvest, mechanical treatment and fire have been
scheduled as the initial phase of habitat restoration. There are currently 721 acres under
restoration efforts, timber harvests and mechanical treatments/fire were implemented as the initial
phase of restoring these areas.
