3. Planting or seeding should be planned as a supplemental measure on those areas 

 beyond 10 chains from the timber wall. Small groups or islands of seed trees within the cut- 

 over area are not recommended. 



4. Seedbed should be prepared either by mechanical scarification or broadcast bum. A 

 cool, moist microenvironment is required for successful seedling establishment on the seed- 

 bed and can be accomplished by leaving sufficient scattered material, such as logs and branches 

 to provide shade and protection. 



FOREST SERVICE CREED 



The Forest Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture is dedicated 

 to the principle of multiple use management of the Nation's forest 

 resources for sustained yields of wood, water, forage, wildlife, and 

 recreation. Through forestry research, cooperation with the States 

 and private forest owners, and management of the National Forests and 

 National Grasslands, it strives — as directed by Congress — to provide 

 increasingly greater service to a growing nation.
