PREFERRED PLAN EFFECTIVENESS ON 

 WOOD PRODUCTION 



1/ In some cases the listed values contain effects from more than just the forestry plan elements. For 

 example, basic industry and new manufacturing values are largely unrelated to the forestry program although 

 increases in forest production, in wood utilization, and in more secondary manufacturing of wood products 

 within the basin would make some contribution to the values shown. The reason for including these values 

 is to bring into perspective the independence of national population projections that have been disaggregated 

 to subnational areas and the natural comparative advantages of subnational areas to provide basic employment 

 for these populations. In this case the forests alone are not capable of supporting the employment for 

 the population projection used for this study. The same applies to the farming sector. The only other 

 historical source of basic employment in the Clark Fork River Basin is the mining sector which, in spite 

 of recent deadlines, has the mineral resources capable of supporting considerably larger levels of basic 

 employment. Other than this basin, the only other source of significant basic employment would be the 

 development of non-land-resource-dependent industries such as in the area of electronics, education, and 

 cottage industries. 



2/ In some cases the listed values contain effects from more than just forest land. For example, riparian 

 lands, wildlife habitat, and fishing access sites can be some distance from forest lands.
