Habitat Retention Sample Clauses

Habitat Retention. In general, the management goals will improve functionality of northern spotted owl habitat by: 1) increasing the average quadratic mean diameter (QMD) of the conifer trees on the Property after each harvest entry until Maximum Sustained Production (MSP) is attained, at which time QMD shall be maintained and not decrease; 2) retaining a greater average post-harvest basal area (square feet per acre) for trees greater than 12 inches diameter at breast height (dbh) as compared to the post-harvest basal area for trees of these dimensions from the previous harvest entry. This will be accomplished until the MSP is attained, at which time basal area shall be maintained and not decrease; 3) increasing the average number of legacy trees on the property with a minimum of one legacy tree per acre, including trees with basal hollows, broken tops, complex crowns, large limbs, epicormic branching, furrowed and loose bark, fire scarring, cavities, bole deformities, defects, and/or mistletoe infections, and the surrounding habitat; and 4) retaining downed cull logs and snags. The proposed harvest schedules for the 12 management units on the Xxxxxx Tree Farm are described in Appendix A of this document.

To ensure a multi- storied canopy, from 500 feet to 1000 feet,, timber harvest shall be limited within each tree size class as follows: 12-16 inch dbh No more than 20% of the volume 18-24 inch dbh No more than 25% of the volume 26-34 inch dbh No more than 25% of the volume 36 inch + dbh No more than 30% of the volume • Nesting and roosting habitat will remain as nesting and roosting habitat bef...
