Timber removal processes can oftentimes result in
severe soil disturbance, particularly in areas of concentrated activity.
Revegetation becomes a priority as soon after tree harvest as possible. Because
forests are typically on sloping or mountainous terrain, with favorable
precipitation, agency permits normally require extensive and intensive
reclamation processes. Plant Materials Centers actively select and test plant
materials for repairing disturbances related to timber harvest. We cooperate
with timber companies and land management agencies to design native plant mixes
and the planting technology conducive to soil stabilization and a healthy forest
environment.
