This practice applies on lands having brush or tree or succulent plant
densities above those called for in the appropriate Ecological Site
Description (ESD). These lands must have the potential to produce
desirable native or adapted introduced forage plants. This Includes
rangeland, pastureland, and hay lands where removal or reduction of
excessive woody (non-herbaceous) plants is desired. If the lands are
classed as Forestland or Woodlands use the conservation practice "Timber
Stand Improvement" for guidance.

**Purpose:** This practice may be applied as a part of a Resource
Management System to accomplish one or more of the following purposes:
(check all that apply)

Restore natural plant community balance

Create the desired plant community

Manage invasive woody or succulent plants

Reduce competition for space, moisture, and sunlight between desired and
unwanted plants

Restore desired vegetative cover to protect soils, control erosion,
reduce sediment, improve water quality, and enhance stream flow

Maintain or enhance wildlife habitat including that associated with
threatened and endangered species or species of decline

Improve forage accessibility, quality and quantity for livestock

Protect life and property from wildfire hazards

Improve visibility and access for handling livestock

Brush management practices shall be applied using approved materials and
procedures. Installation and Operations will comply with all local,
State, Federal laws and ordinances.

Areas disturbed by mechanical treatments will be re-seeded unless it is
determined that natural re-vegetation with desirable species will occur
within a reasonable period, normally two or three years. See standards
and specifications for Range Planting 550. When the existing perennial
community is not reasonably expected to respond to the treatment;
treatments should not be conducted unless seeding is agreed upon with
the client and the eco-region and precipitation zone are conducive.
Re-seeding is not typically done on the entire area, just in areas
needing the stabilization where soil depths indicate a positive response
will occur. Follow-up action needed to ensure success: Stacking
Windrowing Burning Individual plant chemical treatment Shredding
Chipping
