About this opportunity
The West Dolores Rim Mastication Project will treat approximately 132 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands near Egnar, Colorado, within the Tres Rios Field Office. The project involves mechanically masticating pinyon and juniper vegetation to reduce hazardous fuels, improve wildlife habitat, and open overly dense canopy conditions. Work includes the selective removal of 50 percent of live pinyon and juniper trees�balanced proportionally between species�and the removal of 50 percent of shrubs over 36 inches in height. Mastication will convert targeted vegetation into mulch to reduce fuel continuity, enhance ecosystem resilience, and support long�term habitat objectives.
