Howling Wolf density management decision document

Abstract

Announces decision to authorize implementation of the Howling Wolf density management timber sale following the project design features (PDFs) established in the Upper Umpqua Watershed Plan as adjusted in the Decision Record. This timber sale is located on 123 acres within the Late-Successional Reserve (LSR) land-use allocation. The stands that will be treated are second-growth forest between 33 to 65 years of age with an average conifer diameter-breast-height (DBH) of approximately 12 inches. Howling Wolf will provide approximately 1,846 MBF of merchantable timber available for auction. It is estimated that an additional 92 MBF of timber will be removed under the density management timbersale contract as necessary for yarding corridors, tailholds, tieback, and guyline trees.
