Description: Alternative R is a conservation-oriented alternative that responds to public comments that support static late forest structure reserve land allocations and a 21-inch upper diameter limit on cutting live trees. Public concerns regarding the potential impact of the road and motorized trail system on aquatic, riparian, and wildlife habitats, including grizzly core areas and habitat connectivity, are addressed in this alternative as well. This alternative also responds to comments advocating for additional recommended wilderness and increased protections for fish, wildlife and watersheds.
