LUO - Trails 30 For the buffered trails shown on map 10, maintain 50-meter management zones on either side, with the treed area inside the management zones managed to the combined minimum basal area retention of 85 percent, except where roads cross trails. 31 Despite objective 30, primary forest activities that remove more than 15 percent of the basal area within the management zones are permitted for any of the following reasons: (a) Where harvesting is essential for insect control and all identified infestation sites on crown provincial forest within 500 meters of the infested trail management zone is addressed prior to or in conjunction with primary forest activities to curtail severe damage to forest values at the landscape level in a beetle management unit (BMU) classified as suppression for that insect pest, (b) Where harvesting is necessary to manage for blowdown where that helps to maintain the recreational value of the trail.
