Description:
Plate 285. WHITE PINE CREEK PAVANT MOUNTAINS 1962-2000 Viewed east at the head of White Pine Creek in the Pavant Mountains. This area was contour-trenched, gully-plugged, and reseeded by the Forest Service to control erosion. Conifers have increased while aspen has not regenerated due to excessive browsing. This area is still heavily grazed by cattle. Note that trenching through aspen did not stimulate regeneration, or if it did, all the suckers were repeatedly browsed by wild and domestic ungulates. This has happened throughout White Pine and Chalk Creeks - - no new aspen trees have become established on any terraces through aspen stands.
