- Operating Plan treatment intent is to promote an alternative harvest method to increase growth rates and the value of residual stands. Partial harvesting options such as: crop tree release, selection, shelterwood, etc. would be available within this treatment.
- Within 'Operating Plan' treatment, high volume harvest is classified as greater than 40 m3/ha removal (~7-8 cords/acre).
