Scenarios

For the purpose of examining the potential results of various forest management techniques, strategies and intensities, we have developed models around several scenarios that reflect possible and likely conditions to be encountered over the full duration of the plan.

We examined 3 scenarios modeled over 250 years in 20 year intervals:

  1. Conservation Scenario
  2. Preferred Scenario
  3. Base-case Scenario

Scenarios will examine the harvest flows, growing stock, age class distribution, growth and yield curves, road work required, and accumulation of carbon. Comparisons and analysis of tradeoffs were made between scenarios to make informed decisions backed with cost-analysis and ecological assessments to divulge the optimal solution, given our constraints.
