Leave trees will be marked on a 40 to 50 foot spacing with the best 10-30 trees per acre left 

 to provide a seed source for natural regeneration. 



Hazard Reduction: Unit will be prescribed burned. Assessment for ftiel loadings required to 

 successfully bum unit will be accomplished after logging. Slashing of sub-merchantable 

 grand fir alpine fir, Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine may be done to provide adequate fine 

 ftiels to carry fire. Purchaser will pile slash at landing and State crews will bum. 



Site Preparation: Unit will be prescribed bumed. Unit will be assessed after logging to 

 determine appropriate slash loading. Slashing of seedlings and sapling grand fir, alpine fir 

 and Douglas-fir will occur to provide fine fiiels to carry the prescribed fire. 



Regeneration: Plant partial acres of unit with westem larch and white pine and rely on 

 natural regenerafion in others. Exact locations will be determined after logging and 

 prescribed bum. 



Anticipated Future Treatments: 2003-2006 log, 2006 prescribe bum, 2007 plant, 2004-2008 

 Monitor area for weeds. 



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

 with an occasional 6 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: 152 Target trees per acre after marking: 10-30 



Leave tree selection guidelines: 



1 . Healthy trees free of insects or disease with pointed fiall crowns and minor defects. 

 Spacing of leave trees should be 40 to 50 feet apart. 



2. Species preference: Westem larch, Douglas-fir, white pine, ponderosa pine. 



3. Standing snags greater than 16". 



4. Standing cull free of insect and disease. 



5. All trees within 50 feet of stream. 



Cut tree selection guidelines: 



1. Unhealthy trees- trees with insect, disease, or major defects. 



2. Intermediate and suppressed trees, and those dominant and co-dominant trees that do not 

 meet leave tree guidelines. 



3. Lodgepole pine, grand fir and alpine fir.
