ABOUT THE FOREST:
The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests are zoned for fire management and are currently working on
combining the two forests. The fire program has a management responsibility for over 4 million acres of Forest
Service, BLM and Private lands. The Clearwater NF is made up of the Powell, North Fork, Lochsa and Palouse
Ranger Districts. The Nez Perce NF is made up of the Red River, Moose Creek, and the Salmon River Ranger
Districts. The fire zone includes 7 ranger districts, 2 Helitack programs and the Grangeville Air Center
(Smokejumper Base, Retardant Base and Air Attack platform). The Clear/Nez Fire Zone is one of the busiest fire
programs in the nation, with a 10-year average fire load of 380 fires/year (Clearwater -180 and Nez Perce -200).
Our fire program consists of all facets of managing fire across the landscape as well as an active fuels program
that treats over 18,000 acres per year.
The Nez Perce/Clearwater National Forest stretches from the Oregon border on the west to the Montana border
on the east; is roughly bounded by the Idaho Panhandle N.F. to the north; the Salmon River and the Payette NF to
the south; and the Snake River –Hells Canyon NRA and the Wallowa-Whitman NF to the west. This vast, diverse
area is managed to provide a variety of goods and services including breathtaking scenery, wilderness, wildlife,
fisheries, timber harvest, livestock grazing, mining, and recreation. The Forests are best known for the following
wilderness areas: Gospel Hump, Frank Church River of No Return and Selway-Bitteroot that encompass nearly half
of the Forest. These wilderness areas and several wild and scenic rivers provide for a multitude of recreational
opportunities.
