As a nationally elected caucus member for Wordcraft Circle: Native Writers and Schoolie '98 Timber sale- The Timber Committee has re leased a final draft of the Schoolie '98 Timber sale for public review. The document was prepared by the Project Interdisciplinary Team to provide options for a timber harvest in the Beaver and Upper Warm Springs forest planning units begin ning in 1998. Three alternatives were formu lated and numerous logging methods were considered for this project, taking into account present resource conditions, forest health and public input. The sale is expected to yield approximately 35 million board feet of gross volume timber. The document is divided into sections explaining the purpose and need for action, resource-based in dicators used to help the technical staff analyze and mitigate environ mental impacts, and details of the three alternatives. There are maps showing the harvest blocks, quick reference tables to compare the al ternatives, a list of measures needed to mitigate environmental conse quences, and the Project Interdisci plinary Team's recommended alter native. The goal of Alternative A is to continue current management. Ac tivities such as livestock grazing, hunting, recreation and cultural food gathering would continue as in the past. The only harvest proposed un der Alternative A would be through sal vage operations that removes trees killed by fire, wind, insects or other causes. The emphasis of Alternative B is to treat stands with high forest health problems. Under Alternative B, a net timber harvest of 32 million board feet would take place on 1 ,509 acres, primarily through commercial thins and shelterwood prescriptions. The emphasis of Alternative C is to treat stands with high and moder ate forest health problems. Under Alternatives C, a net timber harvest of 31 million board feet of timber would take place on 1,417 acres, primarily through commercial thins and shelterwoods. The alternatives would have varying impacts on water, fish, wild life, cultural, timber, range, soil and economic resources. There would also be some changes to the transpor tation system, which would include eradication of unnecessary roads.
