Forest Health Factors Sample Clauses

Forest Health Factors. White Pine Blister Rust (Cronartium ribicola) - Western White Pine (Pw) is susceptible to White Pine Blister Rust. In order for Pw to be an acceptable crop tree at free growing it must be either grown from resistant stock or first-lift pruned. Pruned means that the lowest live branches have been removed to a height of 1.3m when trees are greater than or equal to 2.5m tall. For trees < 2.5m tall, at least 40% of tree height will remain as live crown. At least 50% of the Pw planted stock must come from resistant stock. Spruce Weevil (Pissodes strobi) - Risk for Spruce Weevil is moderate for most of the plan area below 700m in elevation. For this reason, sitka spruce and spruce hybrids will be limited to minor components (<20%) of planted and regenerated stands in moderate to high risk areas. Planted spruce is to be from seed of which at least 50% has been selected for resistance to spruce weevil. Dwarf Hemlock Mistletoe (Arceuthobium tsugense) - Non-host tree species will be favoured for regeneration when DMH is present in a stand. Leave trees that will contribute to stocking in Variable Retention and Intermediate Harvesting cutblocks must have good form and health. Minimize the amount of DMH infested trees that are left behind as residuals for biodiversity reasons. Severely (class 5 and 6 using the Hawksworth six-class dwarf mistletoe rating system) infected trees will be felled within the variable retention cutblocks at time of harvest when not reserved for other values.
