Wisconsin's Forestland Woody Biomass Harvesting Guidelines

Recommendations

Info

Chapter 4 Application and Modifi cation of <strong>Guidelines</strong> The general guidelines found in Chapter 2 are generally applicable to any site. The site specifi c guidelines described in Chapter 3 apply only to those sites with the specifi c conditions described in the guideline; they are not generally applicable to all sites. It is recommended that these guidelines be implemented in addition to any applicable silvicultural guidelines, forest management guidelines (FMGs) and best management practices (BMPs) (Figure 4-1). The <strong>Guidelines</strong> may be modifi ed for specifi c site conditions, for specifi c operational issues or to meet specifi c management objectives. Examples of where a modifi cation may be warranted include site preparation to facilitate tree regeneration (Figure 4-2), control of invasive or exotic species (Figure 4-3), fuel reduction treatments, barrens/ savanna restoration or prescribed fi re (Figure 4-4). Figure 4-1. The biomass harvesting guidelines should be used in addition to any other applicable guidelines, such as BMPs for water quality when a harvest is adjacent to a lake or stream. 36 Carmen Wagner WI DNR
