TREE THINNING SERVICE RECOVERY PROJECT, ON 1,378 ACRES, LOCATED ON NEWPORT AND SULLIVAN LAKE RANGER DISTRICTS, COLVILLE NATIONAL FOREST, WASHINGTON STATE



The objective of this contract is to secure a complete set of services to accomplish stand treatments to increase forest health and vigor, and/or reduce fuels in the wildland/rural interface. The objectives will be achieved by thinning small trees or whip felling and related work on the Newport and Sullivan Lake Ranger Districts, Colville National Forest. The thinning will be accomplished by cutting less desirable trees and retaining those that exhibit good growth characteristics such as vigorous growth, no signs of disease, and good position in the canopy or by cutting competing brush from around conifers. The whip felling will be accomplished by cutting all designated species or size classes designated in the detailed information sheets. The technical specifications contained in the performance standards were developed based on site-specific stand conditions.
