The environmental assessment of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Wildland Fire Management Plan analyzes the potential environmental and social consequences of three alternatives. Alternative A and C do not allow for use of prescribed fire, while alternative B addresses the lakeshore’s goal of restoring and maintaining fire as a key ecosystem process while minimizing the threat to lives, property, cultural, and natural resources. This preferred alternative applies a range of fire management tools: wildland fire suppression, prescribed fire, and mechanical fuel reduction. It is determined that the combination of actions provided for in this environmental assessment will not result in impairment of any lakeshore resources and values.
