Collaboration

Project Goals Restore most of the landscape to Condition Class 1 Rebalance structural stages toward HRV Particularly increasing amounts of Old Growth Structure Balance our road system needs with hydrologic and fisheries concerns

Project Areas in NEW Forest Vision 2020

Big picture, multi-scale question: Did we shift the pattern, structure, and composition of vegetation at the stand, watershed, and CFLRP scale towards desired targets?

Baseline Reference Conditions Study 7-12 acre Stem maps Reconstructed to pre-settlement year: cores per plot to reconstruct diameter Pre-1890 snags and downed logs included
