Species or Habitat |
Management Action | |
Cavity users | Snag and green tree retention of lands
allocated to timber management. Provide for 100 percent of optimum woodpecker populations. Snag and green tree retention on lands not allocated to timber management. Unmerchantable snags and culls would be retained unless safety hazard. Provide for 40 percent of the mean number of snags found in unentered stands. |
|
Coarse woody debris (CWD) | CWD retention on lands allocated to
timber management. CWD would be retained to approximate the mean levels found in unentered stands. Retain 120 linear feet per acre logs equal to or greater than 16 inches in diameter and 16 feet long. |
|
Special habitats (meadows, caves, wetlands, springs, etc.) |
Special habitats would be protected or
enhanced for wildlife habitat with a 100 to 200 foot buffer. New road location. Roads would avoid special habitats and minimize effects to wetlands and riparian areas. Off-highway vehicle closure. Meadows and wetlands would be closed to off-highway vehicle use. |
|
Cliffs | Peregrine nests and potential peregrine
nests would be protected. |
|
Talus slopes | Sites where Del Norte and Siskiyou
salamanders are found would be protected. |
|
Land tenure | Land would be acquired to facilitate wildlife habitat management. | |
Roosevelt elk | Maintain target habitat conditions.
Within selected elk management areas, forage and cover would be managed to maintain habitat effect indices of at least 0.6. Within
elk management areas, forage would be managed by Within selected elk management areas, manage open road Lands would be acquired to facilitate habitat management. |
|
Designated deer winter range areas |
Thermal cover. At least 20 percent of
these areas would be maintained in thermal cover. Habitat management plans would be prepared unless incorporated into watershed analysis. Activities would be restricted to avoid
disturbance Nov. 15 All roads except major collectors and arterials would
be Permanent forage areas would be created only on lands

|
Raptors and great blue herons | Nest site and habitat would be
protected. Disturbance would be avoided during nesting season. |
|
Golden eagles | Protection of 30-acre core around nest
site. No timber harvest or habitat removal. No new road construction. Disturbance would be avoided during nesting season. |
|
White oak | Maintain or enhance values for wildlife,
range, plants and biological diversity. |
