Regeneration: Plant larger openings with western larch. 



Anticipated Future Treatments: 2003-2006 log, 2007 Plant, 2004-2008 Monitor area for 

 weeds. 



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

 interspersed with an occasional 2 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. 



Current trees per acre: 220 Target trees per acre after harvest: 10-30 



Leave tree selection guidelines: 



1. The healthiest 10 to 30 trees per acre with pointed full crowns and minor defects. 



Spacing on the leave trees should be 40 to 50 feet apart. 



2. Species preference: Western larch, Douglas-fir. 



3. Leave all snags greater than 18". 



4. Standing cull, free of bark beetles or dwarf mistletoe. 



Cut tree selection guidelines: 



1. Dominant and Co-dominant with more than minor defects: poor form, multiple tops, 

 major crooks and sweep. 



2. Intermediate and suppressed trees. 



3. Lodgepole pine and Alpine fir over Douglas-fir and western larch. Note: Some western 

 larch and Douglas-fir will need to be marked to meet the required leave tree spacing. 



4. Trees infected with insect or disease. 



Cruising Guides: 



Volume estimates will be done with 10, 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 trees only)
