IRM is teamed with Melcher Logging to provide restorative services on the Head Stewardship Project located in the Metolius Basin for the Deschutes National Forest. IRM used its two Lightfoot™ machines to mow down competing vegetation in both Ponderosa pine plantations and old growth.
IRM also used hand crews to cut and pile hundreds of acres of small diameter pine that was inaccessible with the machines. Combined with the logging which Melcher Logging is conducting, this operation will fully restore the ecosystem of the basin and return the forest to a condition which will allow for maintenance through the use of prescribed fire.
