Anticipated Future Treatments: 2003-2006 log, 2004-2008 Monitor area for weeds, 2010 

 Precommercial thin. 



Marking Guides: Using blue paint, mark unit boundary with 3 horizontal stripes interspersed 

 with an occasional 1 to identify unit number. Using blue paint, mark trees to leave with a single 

 horizontal stripe at breast height. The paint stripe shall completely encircle the tree so that (at a 

 minimum) paint marks will be seen from the uphill and downhill sides of the tree. Paint marks 

 are to be placed on the stump as well. 



This is an overstory removal unit. Leave approximately 2 overstory western larch per acre. The 

 leave trees do not need to be left uniformly throughout the unit, but concentrated away from the 

 main road that goes through the unit. Adjacent to the wet areas, that traverse the unit, is a good 

 area to leave overstory trees. 



Leave tree selection guidelines: 



L Leave frees should be free of insect and disease. 



2. Leave 2 western larch greater than 21" per acre . 



3. Overstory larch adjacent to wet areas. 



4. Leave all snags. 



Cut tree selection guidelines: 



1 . All overstory within 500 feet of the main road. 



2. Overstory infected with insects or disease. 



3. Overstory not adjacent to wet areas. 



Cruising Guides: 



Volume estimates will be done with 18, 20 BAF cruise plots. Plots are to be laid out in a grid 

 system over the entire unit. Data to be recorded at each plot includes: 



1. Plot# 



2. # trees per plot 



3. Cut or leave tree 



4. Species 



5. Diameter to the nearest inch 



6. Tree height to nearest foot (estimate leave tree heights) 



7. % defect (for cut frees only)
