This document is a collection of project maps and planting specifications for the Remington Restoration Project administered by the Bureau of Land Management's Miles City Field Office in Montana.

The project encompasses restoration activities across two primary units: Tidwell Draw and Bales, located in Powder River County and Big Horn County, Wyoming. The Tidwell Draw unit includes both a main unit and overflow units, while the Bales unit comprises a single main restoration area. Planting specifications require seedling installation in groups of 30 plants per group, distributed evenly within a 20-foot diameter circular area with a 10-foot radius. Site preparation involves clearing a 2-foot diameter area (1-foot radius) around each seedling, removing all living vegetation, and applying 2-3 inches of mulch. Root placement must be careful and natural, with roots neither bent nor compacted, and soil must be firmly packed around roots without air pockets. Reference materials cite proper planting techniques from the North Carolina Forest Service, illustrating correct planting depth and root positioning to avoid common planting errors such as roots being placed too high, leaning, or in J-shaped configurations in undersized holes. The project maps provide detailed township polygons, identifying Bureau of Land Management lands, state lands, and private lands within and surrounding the restoration areas.
