Management Comments:
The volume harvested was small (2335.5 cubic meters in total) but the permit was a big success in every respect: economic, environmental, aesthetic and social. Net profits exceeded $240,000. 40% basal area retention allowed future timber values to be protected while also maintaining viewscape, ungulate winter range and other wildlife values. Just over 70% of the wood was sold to purchasers who would be processing the wood locally.
