This THP is about 8 miles NE of Springville, CA and about 18 miles NE of Porterville, CA by Shake Camp Campground and the Loop Trail and Loop Cutoff Trails within Mountain Home State Forest at an elevation of 6,200 to 7,000 feet. Mountain Home State Forest is planning a mostly individual tree selection tractor based logging operation in ponderosa pine, sugar pine, incense cedar, white fir, Douglas fir and giant sequoia forests. Sections 24, 30 & 31 are adjacent to the Moses Roadless Area, and logging is proposed amongst scattered old growth giant sequoias 500+ years old. Five road drainage sites are planned for work including rocking, dip construction, ditch cleaning and culvert repair/replacement. In 1992, a pacific fisher was spotted within .5 miles of the THP area, and there is a northern goshawk territory within .75 miles of the THP area in the Upper North Bear Creek Watershed. Cooper’s hawks and sharp shinned hawks were reported within 1 mile of the THP area, and there are 2 CA spotted owl nesting territories within 1.3 miles of the THP area.
