Timber Products Shifts Land
Managing to Sustained Yield
Another industrial tree
farmer. Timber Products com
pany, Medford, has shifted its
land management practices to
fit its plan for better long
term, sustained yield forest
management.
According to T. K. Oliver,
vice president and general
manager of the firm, the com
pany, continuing its policy of
capital improvement in plant
facilities such as a gang mill,
plywood plant and log control
center, has during the past
year made major changes in
its forest management pro
gram. "After careful study and
analysis of our timber hold
ings by both company forest
ers and outside consulting
firms, it became evident that
we should modify our cutting
practices to some form of se
lective cutting system," Oliv
'. er said. "In this forest type,
this is a departure from for
mer heavy cutting to mini-
. mum diameter limits.
Trees Needing Harvest
Oliver saiH the new system
of partial cutting will allow
. the company to harvest those
trees most in need of cutting
because of decline in vigor
and increase in defect, and
retain in its reserve forest
stands trees growing as a
profitable rate..
This approach, according to
Oliver, will put the company
holdings on a sound, continu
ous production basis and,
couple with an increased tim
ber purchase program of gov
ernment stumpage, virtually
assures the company's long
term operation in the Medford
area. This will help stabilize
the economy of the Rogue
valley, he pointed out.
To accomplish the new
management objectives, Tim
ber products company has in
creased its forestry staff to
five professional men, add
ing a forester and a logging
engineer during the past year.
Foresters now selectively
mark all trees for cutting and
supervise the logging on com
pany tree farms carried out
by contract loggers.
Management'! Objectives
Forest management objec
tives call for removal of ap
proximately 30 per cent of the
timber volume on the first
cutting cycle through com
pany lands. The second cut
ting cycle will begin in about
five years. This will call for
construction of some 100
miles of roads on the lands
and about 60 miles of roads
on intermingled public lands.
R. L. Nelson, the company s
chief forester, said that by
building the roads, the com
pany will gain valuable ac
cess to back country, increase
fire protection, have quick
recourse to salvage of timber
and open much area to sports
men under the multiple use
management policies which
the company follows.
Timber Products company
was purchased by Cyprus
Mines Corp. m 1955 and has
invested considerable capital
in plant improvements, Oliver
said. It now has a steady work
force of 460 men and con
tributes to community stabil
ity with an annual payroll of
$4.5 million to its employees
nd loggers, he added. Its
lands are committed to sustained-yield
forest manage
ment and are enrolled under
the American Tree Farm Sys
tem.
