Encourage pre- and post-disturbance strategies to protect high-value archaeological sites/resources.

Approach

Tactics

Increase the use of prescribed fire or other vegetation manipulation.
Inventory, map, and rate fire risk for arch resources.
Develop a plan to address post-fire impacts to arch sites that have been exposed.

Sensitivity

• Increased fire will result in increased erosion and loss of vegetation- which may increase damage and impacts to archaeological sites.

Strategy

Reduce the risk and long-term impacts of severe disturbances
