Timber Harvest. Initial commercial timber harvesting on the Property occurred in the 1920s and 1930s using contemporary methods of the time, including chainsaws to hand fall trees, tractors to yard and skid felled trees, and trucks to transport logs to mill locations. As was typical of that time period, uneven-aged silviculture methods were used to remove individual trees or groups of trees with the highest commercial value. Unmerchantable or submerchantable trees were generally not harvested. Large-scale clearcutting and other even-aged silvicultural practices are not used on the Property. Timber harvesting on the Property in the mid-1990s used selection silviculture. A sanitation salvage harvest was conducted in 2003 to remove dead and dying trees and improve growth of the residual stand. Future timber harvest will be conducted according to the terms of the Easement, SHA, and California Forest Practice Rules. The Easement prohibits the use of even-aged silviculture and specifically requires an increase in average tree diameter following harvesting using a “thin from below” approach, the maintenance of moderate to dense overstory canopy, and the retention of snags, large downed wood, and designated Wildlife Trees. Generally, Wildlife Trees are selected from those available that have high intrinsic value as wildlife habitat. Such trees often show signs of previous use by wildlife and feature cavities, large horizontal limbs, multiple candelabra tops and other structural characteristics.
