the non-industrial private landowners is unclear. There will be conflicts 

 between timber production and grazing for livestock or other nontimber 

 resource values. Getting the non-industrial private forest landowner to use 

 aggressive timber management practices is difficult. It remains to be seen 

 how well that challenge will be met. 



Silvicultural treatment opportunities exist to dramatically increase the 

 growth rates and thereby increase future timber supplies from the state and 

 private timberlands. The extent to which these opportunities are realized, 

 beginning immediately, will determine the amount of timber available for 

 harvest in the future.
