1. Pre-harvest Planning BMPs (continued)

The pre-harvest plan should outline the best management practices which will be followed before, during and after the harvest and should:

• clearly identify the area to be harvested;
• locate special areas of protection, such as wetlands and streamside vegetation;
• plan for the proper timing of forestry activities;
• describe management measures for road layout, design, construction, and maintenance; and
• describe management measures for harvesting methods and forest regeneration.
