GLADSTONE CREEK TIMBER SALE MARKING PLAN 



Unit Boundaries for Units 1,3,4,5,6, 7 & 8 



Blue "X" and stump spot facing into unit and paint unit # on a tree at edge 

 of clearing limit as you enter unit for trucker i.d. 



Road Clearing Limits 



Yellow spots 45° into corridor on top and bottom, 15' above and below line 

 on slopes up to 40%, or as per 6-Rivers table or engineering diagram 

 elsewhere 



ERZ & SMZ 



Orange horizontal ring around tree at breast height, and stump mark 



Leave Trees in Units 1,3,4,5,6,7 & 8 



Blue vertical stripe from stump to breast height on 3 or more sides of stem 



Cut Trees in Unit 2 



Blue spot at breast height and a stump spot, facing the road, i.e. downhill 

 side on trees above road, uphill side on trees below road 



Units 1. 7 & 8 (113, 11 & 10 acres respectively) 



Current stands are irregular uneven aged stands of Ponderosa Pine and 

 Douglas-fir with patchy irregular areas of D.F. or PP understory on tractor 

 operable terrain. Most of the trees 8" dbh or less are submerchantable due 

 to taper. In the 9" - 19" size classes, mark leave trees on a 30' - 40' 

 average spacing. Favor Ponderosa Pine over Douglas- fir. Do not mark only 

 large trees, rather, spread trees proportionally across this diameter range 

 as they occur. Select trees primarily for good timber form 

 characteristics, though obvious wildlife use trees may also be left. 



For trees 20" dbh and larger, mark only specific wildlife trees, eg. rotten 

 face, cavity nested, dead or broken top, snags etc. These will probably 

 amount to about 1/4 of the trees 20"+. 



Due to instand variability, this prescription will have the varying effect 

 of I.T.S. and shelterwood systems, yielding estimate harvest of 2,728 tons 

 net . 



Units 3.4. 5 & 6 (26, 20, 5 £c 3 acre respectively) 



Current stands are single storied lodgepole with variable mixes of Douglas- 

 fir in parts of the stands. Units 3 & 5 are to be cable yarded. Units 4 

 and 6 are tractor ground. Contract will specify cutting all LP (except 

 thickets of submerch that can be left undamaged) . Undamaged thickets of 

 D.F. are rare, but may also be retained, if undamaged. Trees 7" dbh and 

 smaller are mostly submerchantable. 



In the 8" - maximum size classes of Douglas-fir, mark approximately 50% of 

 the D.F. to leave. Existing D.F. spacing is non-uniform so no average 

 spacing can be calculated. End results will vary from shelterwood to seed 

 tree to clearcut and clearcut with reserve patches. Select leave D.F. 

 based on timber and wildlife characteristics. No ponderosa showed up in 

 these unit cruises, but PP can be marked to leave if encountered.
