. Beaver/Swift/Skyles timber sale project : environmental assessment. Forest management; Logging; Forest reserves; Harvesting; Environmental impact analysis. AESTHETICS ANALYSIS - healthy, vigorous, intermediate-sized trees with greater than 35 percent of the tree having a live crown that is conical in shape; - healthy, vigorous, sapling-sized trees along roads and scattered throughout the stands; and - large, down woody debris in varying amounts, depending on its location in the wildland/urban interface. Once the regeneration (seedtree and shelterwood with reserve harvest treatments) harvest areas are logged, the stands would be more open, but would still contain most of the same trees species. Western larch would be regenerated, adding to the diversity of small trees as well as to the colors associated with western larch in the spring and fall. In the commercial-thin or improvement- cut areas, similar attributes would be retained, but more trees per acre would be left, although generally they would be within the 8- to 14-inch size class. These remaining trees would generally have live crown ratios greater than 40 percent and would likely be either Douglas-fir or western larch tree species. Many of the harvest areas lend themselves to a combination of several prescriptions and may appear as displayed in FIGURE 111-5 - VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF HOW THESE TREATMENTS MAY APPEAR FOLLOWING HARVESTING. FIGURE ni5 â VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF HOW THESE TREATMENTS MAY APPEAR FOLLOWING HARVESTING. The visualizations are only a qualitative approximation of what would be expected to occur on the ground due to the variations and diversification of the stands treated in this project Chapter III - Existing Environment and Environmental Effects Page III-55.
