Abstract
Announces decision to implement Alternative 2 of the project EA, commercially thinning some 1550 acres of young, densely-stacked, managed stands in the Donaca and Headwaters Middle Santiam River subwatersheds to increase growth and vigor of residual trees, accelerate development of structural and compositional complexity, and contribute commercial wood products to the district's harvest target for fiscal years 2007-2009. Proposed stand treatments are intended to improve habitat conditions, habitat function, and connectivity within the Critical Habitat Unit for northern spotted owls, the Middle Santiam River Corridor, and the Santiam Area of Concern.
