Description: The Bureau of Land Management proposes a ten-year timber management plan   for the 425,720 acres of public land in the Josephine Sustained Yield Unit of the Medford District   (Oregon). Proposed annual timber harvest is 20.10 million cubic feet (103 MM bd. ft.), consisting of   94 MM bd. ft. as sustained yield allowable cut from high intensity forest management land and 9 MM   bd. ft. as trial harvest from low intensity forest management land not included in the sustained   yield computation base. Treatments implicit to the proposal include road construction, harvest   employing predominantly shelterwood systems with some clearcutting, slash disposal, site preparations   predominately with herbicides, planting of trees, herbicide release of established plantations,   precommercial thinning, fertilization, and commercial thinning.
