The project proposes to salvage by clearcut harvest dead and lodgepole pine infested or at risk of infestation with mountain pine beetle; use biomass removal, commercial thinning, and prescribed fire to reduce stand density on lodgepole pine and Douglas-fir stands; and remove Douglas-fir that is encroaching upon quaking aspen clones and shrublands/grasslands.

For years, folks have been telling me I needed to go to The Swinging Bridge Restaurant located in the hamlet ("town" would be too generous a term) of Paint Bank in Craig County. With spring in full bloom, it was the perfect opportunity for two leisurely drives through the Jefferson National Forest with the kids. Situated in the back of a general store and gas station, the aptly named restaurant has its own indoor swinging bridge. It also sports bar stools made of tractor seats and a large stone fireplace that, combined with a menagerie of stuffed wildlife ranging from bears to rattlesnakes, makes you think you're eating in a hunting lodge.

I TRY TO recommend new area artists and art forms from time to time. This week, meet Shayne Hensley, professional photographer and new Chesapeake resident who happens to be my co-worker. Shayne grew up in the western part of Virginia on 100 acres of land bordering the Jefferson National Forest and the Appalachian Trail.
The Huckleberry Trail expansion picture continues to become clearer in the two Montgomery County towns, with money being allocated and plans taking shape.
