This is the first SNAMP newsletter! The SNAMP project involves resource agencies, the public, and University Scientists to assess how vegetation treatments to prevent wildfire will affect fire risk, wildlife, forest health, and water quantity and quality. The Forest Service will be planning and implementing the treatments, while the University Science team will be independently monitoring and studying the effects of the projects. The public will be invited to provide feedback on the entire process. To learn more about the SNAMP project, please check out the Fall '07 newsletter!
