MANASTASH is associated in the source content with forest conservation and sustainable forest management through the Manastash-Taneum Resilient Landscape Restoration Project. The project focuses on thinning overgrown forests in the Pacific Northwest to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire, disease, and insect infestations. It also highlights responsible harvesting, prescribed burning, and forest research as ways to improve forest health, support biodiversity, and create economic opportunities for the Yakama Nation and local communities. The content also notes collaboration with public agencies, conservation groups, and Indigenous partners on forestland management and conservation research.

MANASTASH Sustainability Actions

Forest restoration project

The Manastash-Taneum Resilient Landscape Restoration Project recognizes that good forest management, which includes responsible harvesting, allows fire-, insect-, and disease-resistant forests to thrive and also benefits a diversity of species. The project received the SFI Leadership in Conservation Award at the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) 2016 Annual Conference.

Thinning overgrown forests

This initiative focuses on thinning overgrown forests in the Pacific Northwest to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, disease, and insect infestations. Responsible harvesting, followed by controlled prescribed burning, should help reduce crown fires, which are more dangerous and difficult to control.

Forest research collaboration

The Washington DNR is a national leader in research and collaboration on forest health. They participate in more than 60 research projects every year and set a great example for other SFI Program Participants, all of whom commit to forest research as part of the SFI Forest Management Standard.

Economic use of small logs

The project’s emphasis on removing smaller trees through thinning also offers an ideal mechanism to use small-diameter logs from U.S. Forest Service lands. This approach helps to address forest health issues, while also creating economic opportunities for the Yakama Nation and the local economy.
