Guidelines at Work... On-site meetings: Conduct on-site meetings with the logger, landowner and resource manager prior to moving equipment onto a site. Such meetings can help assure common understanding of landowner objectives, timber harvesting regulations, contract specifications and site conditions. Photo courtesy of Potlatch Corporation

Timing of Management activities: Determine the preferred operating season for a specific site to help avoid unwanted impacts to the site, as well as the costly process of moving equipment from a site or shutting down operations if negative impacts are occurring. Winter harvesting is one example of timing management activities to protect soil and cultural resources, as well as to avoid periods of peak summer recreational use.
