Subitem 2.1 Acres: 40 Stand no. 41002026

Stand Name: Preston #1 Legal: T. 43 N., R.2 W., S26

Approx. Elev:

Slope: 40%Avg.

Age: 18 Aspect:North Avg. Crop Tree Ht.: 14 Ft.

The tree release decision area is 1/50th acre.

Leave Trees per acre; Minimum 250 Maximum 300

Leave Tree Order of preference by Specie ; (1)Western Larch; (2)White Pine; (3)Western Red Cedar; (4) Engelmann Spruce; 5) Douglas Fir; (6)Grand Fir

(7) Lodgepole Pine; (7) Western Hemlock.

Leave Tree stand composition: Western larch-10%; White pine-65%; Cedar-20%: Others-5%

Do not cut Quaking Aspen or Pacific yew.

Cut all other hardwood and brush species that are 2/3 or greater in height of the leave trees. Cut within a 12 foot radius of the leave tree.

Minimum tree height to cut : 2 ft.

Maximum DBH Cut Limit: 7 in.

Trees 7 in. DBH and larger will not be considered in the leave tree count.

Maximum stump height = 4in.

Remove all lower live limbs over 4 inches in length from the stumps.

White Pine: Of the approximate 233 trees per acre 10% are infected with blister rust.Only healthy pruned White Pine will be selected as a leave tree specie.

Root disease in Douglas Fir and Grand Fir: Trees showing signs of root disease have yellowing thinning crowns, short terminal growth and short needles. Resin is often apparent on the root collar and bark. Trees exhibiting these symptoms will be cut unless there are no other trees that can be selected.

Western Gall Rust in Lodgepole Pine: Trees with galls or cankers on the bole or branches will be cut. Trees with bole cankers or branch cankers will be considered as an unacceptable leave tree if selected.

Existing Conditions: The estimated existing trees are 984 per acre surveyed in 2007. The majority tree species occurring within the stand consist of Douglas Fir,Western Red Cedar and Western White Pine with lesser amounts of other conifer tree species. Also brush species are competing with the desirable leave tree species..

Treatment Objectives: Maintain as many Western Larch and White pine as possible according to the prescription.. This will create a more healthy,vigorous stand and maintain these species upon the landscape.

Resin is often apparent on the root collar and bark. Trees exhibiting these symptoms will be cut unless there are no other trees that can be selected.

Western Gall Rust in Lodgepole Pine: Trees with galls or cankers on the bole or branches will be cut. Trees with bole cankers or branch cankers will be considered as an unacceptable leave tree if selected.

Existing Conditions: The unit is accessable by walking less than 1/4 mile from the 504 road. The estimated existing trees are 2463 per acre surveyed in 2009. The majority tree species occurring within the stand consist of Lodgepole pine with lesser amounts of other conifer tree species. Also brush species are competing with the desirable leave tree species..

Treatment Objectives: Maintain as many Western Larch and White pine as possible by removing the less desirable species such as lodgepole pine, etc. This will create a more healthy,vigorous stand and maintain these species upon the landscape.
