No permanent mainline or secondary roads

Limited impacts to forest cover 

Provide winter range for forage, escape cover and thermal cover.

Limit roads and impacts to forest cover.

No disturbance Nov01-April30

Retail large leave areas >4ha

Minimize disturbance to:

Warm aspect slopes

Open range

Young deciduous forest stands

Complex forest stands with understory

Coniferous stands (thermal/security)

Grasslands (grasses, herbs, burns)

Shrubs, saplings, birch, aspen, willow

Planning Measures:

Limit roads to secondary access on existing disturbance

Limit impacts to forest cover and elk forage (open range and early seral).

Minimize fragmentation

Retain

Large leave areas (>4ha)

Tree clusters every 200m for security cover

A ratio of 60:20:20 of forage habitat: security/thermal cover: undefined habitat

Avoid:

Warm aspect slopes
