Developing Timber Harvesting Prescriptions to Minimize Site Degradation by Terence Lewis,British Columbia. Timber Harvesting Subcommittee Pdf
This report provides individuals responsible for formulating logging prescriptions a number of harvesting strategies which do not cause excessive site degradation and therefore do not result in long-term losses in forest productivity. The report addresses timber harvesting activities applied in the interior of B.C., including a number of phases up to, but not including, site preparation. It includes the building and maintaining of secondary roads; falling and bucking; the skidding, yarding or forwarding of logs to a landing; and the provision of fireguards to facilitate logging slash disposal. The report discusses the planning, construction, operational, maintenance, and rehabilitation stages of each of these phases of logging.
