(5) Declare a moratorium on subdividing the better commercial forested 

 lands until existing subdivided tracts are occupied unless specific need 

 can be shown, particularly in riparian and forest fringe areas or else 

 require mitigation for lost habitat. 



(6) Accelerate technical and financial assistance to eliminate erosion 

 and sediment production on 61,000 acres of forest land; 51 miles of 

 streambanks; and 2,460 miles of roads and trails. 



(7) Protect riparian vegetation on 79,000 acres along streams and lake- 

 shores under easements, acquisition, and zoning programs. 



(8) Preserve and protect present open and green space through legisla-

 improved logging methods and esthetic harvest of timber, and careful 

 design and construction of roads and utility lines to harmonize with 

 natural beauty of the area. 



(9) Manage wildlife habitat for wildlife. Purchase, lease, or arrive at 

 management agreements on about 66,000 acres of private big game range.
