Wood Product Potential In Mature Lodgepole Pine Stands Bitterroot National Forest PDF Download

Excerpt from Wood Product Potential in Mature Lodgepole Pine Stands: Bitterroot National Forest Rapid growth in the past few years of plants using lodgepole roundwood products has created a brisk demand for lodgepole. Harvest of dead lodgepole increased tenfold from 1966 to 1975. However, much of the lodgepole resource is not accessible by existing roads and will require careful harvest to protect other resource values, particularly in high elevation fragile areas. The lodgepole pine resource could provide employment to small logging operators or part-time loggers, particularly if a convenient market outlet such as a concentration yard were developed. Increased use of lodgepole in the Bitterroot depends on location of the stands, economic conditions, harvesting technology and feasibility, and the level of harvest allowed in land management plans.
