Announces decision to enhance the development of late successional habitat and improve habitat diversity by: 1. Commercially thinning about 66 acres of stand 507089; 2. Creating stand diversity by applying a mixture of thinning regimes in the stand and under planting about 43 acres; 3. Increasing structural diversity by falling and leaving about 330 trees as coarse wood and creating about 396 snags in the stand; 4. Creating a 3/4 acre meadow at the end of the existing temporary road; and 5. Adding about 50 pieces of large wood by hand to the largest stream adjacent to the unit.
