Presentation summary:
This presentation will provide an overview of timber
sustainability as it relates to harvesting. Sustainability is defined as
meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their needs. Assessment tools used to measure the impacts
of timber harvesting decisions and practices will be discussed. The
assessment tools provide guidelines for attaining sustainable timber harvesting
outcomes by considering the answers to seven questions about a harvest.
Users of the assessment tools will be able to make an educated evaluation about
the sustainability of a proposed harvest.
