BOUNDARIES – All boundaries are marked with tags and/or orange and black striped flagging, except where otherwise noted.

Stem densities vary across the project and within units. The quoter is advised to visit the work sites to determine average cut trees per acre prior to submitting a quote. The quoter is responsible for determining the amount of work.

Republic and Three Rivers Ranger District, Colville National Forest Page 3 of 39

Species abbreviations are as follows: PP = Ponderosa Pine, WL = Western Larch, DF = Douglas-fir, RC = Western Red Cedar, ES = Englemann Spruce, LP = Lodgepole Pine, AF = Sub-Alpine Fir, WH = Western Hemlock, GF = Grand Fir, WP = Western White Pine, PY= Pacific Yew, BC= Black Cottonwood, QA= Quaking Aspen and PB = Birch species
