The Rexford and Fortine Ranger Districts, Kootenai National Forest, have drafted an Environmental Assessment for the “East Fork Sunday Fire Salvage and Restoration Project.” 

This project is located 12 miles south of Trego. Forest officials are requesting comments from the public on this draft environmental assessment. It is available on the Kootenai National Forest Website: https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/kootenai/?project=65292

The project area includes the area burned by the 2023 East Fork Fire. The East Fork Fire started on July 30, 2023, from a lightning strike. The fire burned approximately 5,259 acres on both the Kootenai and Flathead National Forests.
