Announces decision to implement Alternative 2, to speed the development of late-successional habitat in late-successional and riparian reserves; maintain and create grass, forb, and shrub, and shrub habitats; improve watershed function; repair and maintain key forest roads; and produce timber and meet late-successional objectives on matrix land.
Proposes a package of associated terrestrial and watershed restoration actions, including commercially thinning about 3,003 acres to speed the development of late-successional habitat in plantations now 20 to 58 years-old, improve existing diversity in plantations, non-commercially thinning about 212 acres of plantations generally less than 20 years-old to speed their development, decommissioning about 5 miles of roads and closing about 47 miles of roads to help restore watershed health, and repairing and maintaining about 18 miles of key forest roads and about 42 miles of non-key forest roads.
