The Tree Inventory identifies 55 trees of which 22 will be preserved and 33 will be removed. Of the 33 removals, 27 trees are in Basic Use Area and non -environmentally sensitive areas. These removals will not require mitigation trees. The other 6 removals are in Basic Use Area and Natural Resource Protected Area.
