All Favor retaining healthy trees in the largest size classes with no apparent damage and little to no evidence of insect or disease. Select against trees in lower canopy positions and trees with evidence of damage to one third of the bole diameter or greater, evidence of insects and disease, stems with excessive sweep, or lean exceeding 20%. Species preference for leave trees is as follows:

1. Limber pine

2. Ponderosa pine,

Dead trees chosen for retention should be at least 8” DBH for lodgepole pine, and 10” DBH for all other species. Favor dead trees with evidence of wildlife use (dens, nests, cavities) for retention, when available. All other dead conifer trees not exceeding stump diameter limits described above shall be felled.

Within treatment units where Rocky Mountain juniper occurs, leave an average of at least one individual per acre.

A tree is classified as dead if it at least 75% of its crown has missing, brown, or red needles.
