The temporary loss of 1,458 acres of mountain mahogany during the Sanford fire is not a desired condition. Although mountain mahogany forage lost for use by deer and elk may be negated by the increased sprouting of aspen, it may take a long time to restore this important browse species. 		white space
In recent years, much of the mountain mahogany has been lost to pinyon-juniper, probably as a result of fire exclusion. Site rehabilitation may be needed to help restore historical mahogany stands.
