Abstract
Proposes to thin area of over 2,900 acres of dense, even-aged, uniform, single-story, 35- to 60-year old plantations. This alternative is expected to yield approximately 40 million board feet of timber sawlogs to meet the purpose and need of maintaining the growth and health of the stands and producing a sustainable, commercial yield of wood products. The alternative uses a combination of ground-based, skyline and helicopter log-yarding systems with an emphasis on minimizing residual damage and disturbance.
