The Kenney Flats II Mowing Project Area is located on Forest Service land 14 miles southeast of Pagosa Springs, Colorado. The Pagosa Ranger District is responsible for the Project. The proposed treatments under this contract involves mechanical thinning, mowing and shredding of Rocky Mountain juniper, white fir, Douglas fir, aspen, ponderosa pine, Gambel oak and associated shrubs.
 
The purpose of this mowing and shredding treatment is to thin and shred ponderosa pine trees and understory vegetation in order to improve overall stand health and to mitigate fire hazards by decreasing fuel continuity. The Project area is within the Wildland Urban Interface and is at high risk of producing a high intensity crown fire potentially impacting adjacent residences and private land.
