The background view of the School Trust land in Section 33 is a continuous canopy on a rolling, broken landscape. The road corridor is not visible from this vantage point. Foreground views of School trust land in Section 28 are variable, from heavily timbered to recently logged. A recent timber-harvest unit encompasses most of the project area that would be impacted by the action alternatives. The harvest unit has between 0 and 40 trees per acre and little to no undergrowth.
Sight distances are long and mostly limited by topography.
Newly reconstructed roads exist within the project area. The road corridor is characterized by a smooth gravel surface, newly seeded cut banks, ditchlines, and drainage features. Over time, the disturbed area will continue to revegetate and blend into the surrounding area. Views from the middleground of the School Trust land in this section are mostly from a northwesterly visual aspect. Due to the relatively flat and rolling topography, the project area is not very visible from the Beaver Lake area.
