Unroaded areas and areas managed as wilderness provide unique opportunities for applying wildland fire use (WFU) as a fuels management strategy and as a method for restoring historical fire regimes. But can WFU successfully restore historical fire regimes? An untested but common assumption is that natural ignitions can be used to restore or maintain historical fire regimes. This project will develop an approach to assess the current conditions of fuels and the feasibility of WFU as a strategy for restoring historical fire regimes in wilderness and on other unroaded lands. The information developed by this project will directly support the development of fire management plans. We will use 6-8 wilderness areas and national parks as study area...
