Overview

Basics

Basics
This project is intended to enhance Late Successional Old Growth (LSOG) stands that exist in the lower elevation portions of Bonpland Creek drainage and portions of Slaughterhouse canyon and to allow for further development of existing sugar pine trees in these locations and increase forest composition by planting sugar pine seedlings in treated areas.

Notes

Notes
07/02/2015 1:53 PM Jeanne McNamara The major objectives of this project include: 1) Area timber stand health improvement; 2) Protection of existing LSOG stands; 3) Increase sugar pine composition through seedling planting; 4) Retain and enhance important habitat components for wildlife; 5) Increase soil erosion resistance. 6) Plant Sugar pine seedlings in designated areas. On the landscape level, the east-side mixed conifer forest type primarily consists of variable patterns, often occurring in a coarse-scale mosaic with east-side pine related to aspect according to the Sierra Nevada Ecosystem Project Final Report to Congress (SNEP 1996). Also, according to SNEP, the east side mixed conifer forest had the lowest structural diversity and late successional old growth. Thus it is important to identify and maintain existing LSOG and expand LSOG by active management. The desired future condition of these stands should be consistent with characteristics found in the Lake Tahoe Watershed Assessment for 38 old-growth stands (Lake Tahoe Watershed Assessment Chapter 5 page 412).
