The Arizona Game and Fish Department is notifying hunters, anglers and outdoor recreationists of three fuel-reduction projects that could affect northern and northeastern Arizona recreation. The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management and the U.S. Forest Service are restoring nearly 7,000 acres under the Good Neighbor Authority on the Coconino, Prescott and Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, with no closures but machinery, crews and noise to avoid.

Jotter 1 thins 3,559 acres of ponderosa, pinyon and juniper on the Coconino National Forest east of Interstate 17 south of Stoneman Lake Road from mid-October for about a year. Log Springs 1 uses heavy machinery on 1,700 acres west of Cherry on the Prescott National Forest through March 2028, and Brentwood from November through 2029 on the Apache-Sitgreaves Alpine Ranger District includes a 1,300-acre timber sale plus nearly 400 acres of hand thinning for nearly 40,000 tons of timber.
