Explanation for Following Two Pages: Addendum for Silvicultural 

 Information 



By Kathy Bailey 



The Addendum for Silvicultural Information is part of a 

 MAXXAM Timber Harvest Plan, the document which must be filed with 

 the State of California in order to get a permit to log. 



Within the text of my testimony I refer to the likelihood 

 that the HAXXAM ownership will have substantially all of its 

 second growth timber logged over the next twenty years, reducing 

 the area to an ecosystem of young regeneration growth trees of a 

 maximum of 40 years, a vastly different type of forest than 

 either an old growth or 100 year-old second growth forest. 



In the Addendum (2 pages following) item 1 describes the 

 existing stand: second growth redwood and Douglas fir. 



Item 3, 4, and 5 show that 100 acres will be selectively 

 cut, leaving some of the older trees, and 151 acres will be 

 clearcut, leaving an area which will be planted with eight-inch 

 seedlings. 



Item 7 shows this stand currently is 100 years old with 20 

 year undergrowth. 



Item 6 states that future entry of the selectively logged 

 sites will be within 10-20 years. It is at that entry that all 

 the remaining 100 year-old trees will be logged, leaving a stand 

 of 30-40 year old trees, with those trees in the previously 

 clearcut area being 10-20 years old.
