About this file
This is a Logging Systems Layout Worksheet template used to document the planning and design of logging operations for a harvest unit. The worksheet captures comprehensive information about a proposed timber harvest project, including project identification, resource constraints, infrastructure requirements, and operational specifications.
The form requires documentation of improvements (survey monuments, fences, and other structures), resources (streams with buffer zones, wet areas, wildlife habitat, and special management areas), and road systems (haul routes, new or reconstruction needs, and temporary access roads). Section C details the preferred logging method—skyline, cut-to-length (CTL), or tractor systems—along with specific parameters including uphill and downhill skidding percentages, maximum yarding distances, average slope, and the number and location of landings. The worksheet also requires documentation of special conditions that may affect logging difficulty, such as rocky ground or areas that must be dropped from the harvest unit. An attached map must illustrate unit boundaries, excluded areas, skidding directions, go-back trails, directional falling requirements, hand-falling areas, and excavated skid trail locations. The completed worksheet must be signed by both the person preparing the layout and the layout personnel conducting the field work, with references to township, range, and section information for geographic identification.
