The Deer Point Forest Stewardship Project is designed to reduce excess vegetation, lowering the risk of catastrophic wildfire and improving conditions for effective firefighting if a fire occurs. The project will also help limit the spread of invasive dwarf mistletoe and manage bark beetle populations. For more information, visit the U.S. Forest Service website.
