Avg. Aspect: NE Legal: Sec 30 T26N R28W, PM MT

Boundary: Pink Thinning Boundary Flagging Access: Access on road# 7149, approximately 40 miles from Libby.

Insect, Disease and Animal Damage:

Dwarf mistletoe: -- Treatment is covered in the contract under "Selection of leave trees".

Snow Damage: -- Select upright trees with straight stems to prevent future damage.

Western Gall Rust: -- All lodgepole pine and ponderosa pine with rust infection on the bole shall be cut. A tree with infection on the limbs may be considered as a leave tree if it a best tree and no other trees are available to leave.

Silvicultural Goal and Desired Condition

The stand shall be thinned to an average of 250 trees per acre, not counting trees less than a minimum cut height of 18 inches. All trees over 18” in height can be considered as leave trees if best for that species in the Competitive Area. The estimated percent of crop / leave tree selection as designated under Best Tree Thinning below is a guide and will be controlled by available trees, leave tree selection, and preference list, but should be a guide to a good species mix in the stand. Do not close up spacing or increase the number of trees next to openings.

Required Thinning Results

A. Best Tree in competitive area method is being used in selecting leave trees with the Species preference as follows:

Species preference, priority and percent ( #1 PP = 1%, #2 WL = 13 %, #3 LP = 48%, #4 DF = 38 B. With an average of 250 trees per acre, the plots should have a minimum of 4 trees or a maximum of 6 trees per 1/50th acre plot. Maximum number of Category C small trees per acre not to exceed 35 (see Best Tree Thinning).

2. Special Treatments:

A. Girdle or cut, lop and scatter all trees between 7 inches and 12 inches DBH that are infected with dwarf mistletoe or considered culls.

B. Leave all hardwoods C. Keep roads, ditches, and culverts clear of slash, pull back 10 feet from culverts.

Western Gall Rust: -- All lodgepole pine and ponderosa pine with rust infection on the bole shall be cut. A tree with infection on the limbs may be considered as a leave tree if it a best tree and no other trees are available to leave.

Silvicultural Goal and Desired Condition

The stand shall be thinned to an average of 200 trees per acre, not counting trees less than a minimum cut height of 18 inches. All trees over 18” in height can be considered as leave trees if best for that species in the Competitive Area. The estimated percent of crop / leave tree selection as designated under Best Tree Thinning below is a guide and will be controlled by available trees, leave tree selection, and preference list, but should be a guide to a good species mix in the stand. Do not close up spacing or increase the number of trees next to openings.

Required Thinning Results

1. Best Tree Thinning

A. Best Tree in competitive area method is being used in selecting leave trees with the Species preference as follows:

Species preference, priority and percent ( #1 PP = 40%, #2 WL = 30%, #3 DF = 25%, #4 LP = 3%, #5 GF = 1%

B. With an average of 200 trees per acre, the plots should have a minimum of 3 trees or a maximum of 5 trees per 1/50th acre plot. Maximum number of Category C small trees per acre not to exceed 35 (see Best Tree Thinning).

2. Special Treatments:

A. Girdle or cut, lop and scatter all trees between 7 inches and 12 inches DBH that are infected with dwarf mistletoe or considered culls.

B. Max cut limit 7 inches DBH

C. Fall slash into unit along Eastern boundary

D. Thinning slash not to exceed 24” in height, buck the slash to 15 foot lengths if necessary to achieve required slash height.

E. Keep roads clear of slash; pull back from culverts 10 feet.

F. Leave all hardwoods
