Considerations included:
- National Parks, Monuments, Recreation Areas
- Designated Wilderness and Wilderenss Study Areas
- Roadless Areas except 200ft adacent to the wildlands/urban interface
- Slopes over 35%
- Areas within 100ft of rivers and lakes
- Areas within 100ft of wetlands
- Mexican Spotted Owl Critical Habitat
- Areas within 0.5 miles of an existing road
Results were classified into three categories:
- Overlap: Areas where fire risk mitigation and ecological restoration goals overlap
- Fire Risk Mitigation Only: wildland/urban interface outside the lower montane life zone
- Ecological Restoration Only: lover montane forests outside the wildland/urban interface
