 Ecological Restoration!!
 Current RG forests are extremely overcrowded with
trees.
 Historic tree density with wildfire = 50-70 trees per
acre
 Current density without fire = 300-1000 trees per
acre
 More trees = more fuel = very high fire threat,
continued decline of forest health (insects, disease),
conversion of meadows to timberland, loss of
natural forage & associated biodiversity.
Long Term Forest Management at Royal Gorge
 Aspen
 Wildflowers
 Grasses
 Meadows
 Vernal Pools
Cytospora
Dwarf Mistletoe
 1. Have a Plan!
 Preliminary Long Term Forest Management Plan
completed for Royal Gorge in Dec. 2012
 Gives short term direction so we continue to move
forward during the Long Term Planning
 Allows for prioritization:
 Fuel Reduction
 Ecological Restoration (provide for wildlife,
biodiversity, long-term fire resilience, ecological
balance).
Long Term Forest Management at Royal Gorge
1. Identify and GPS all roads, access, watercourses, property
corners, proposed treatment area.
2. Conduct surveys: biological, botanical, archaeological.
3. Mark timber:
1. Gap & cluster
2. Trees >12” DBH to be removed marked in blue
3. Sample mark between Pahatsi, Big Ben, and northern Hillside
residences
4. Meet with Prospective Contractor(s).
5. File appropriate Exemption with Cal Fire.
- Objectives:
1. Reduce vertical and horizontal continuity of fuels;
2. Provide for increased forest resilience to wildfire and
other damaging agents.
- Thin stands by removing conifers <30” Stump DOB
- Space residual trees to provide for distinct break in crowns
- Reduce surface fuels such as brush, small trees, and dead and
down woody material

Long Term Forest Management at Royal Gorge

  • 1. By: Danielle E. Banchio California Registered Professional Forester #2808 For the Truckee-Donner Land Trust July 6th, 2013
  • 2.  Ecological Restoration!!  Current RG forests are extremely overcrowded with trees.  Historic tree density with wildfire = 50-70 trees per acre  Current density without fire = 300-1000 trees per acre  More trees = more fuel = very high fire threat, continued decline of forest health (insects, disease), conversion of meadows to timberland, loss of natural forage & associated biodiversity.
  • 4.  Aspen  Wildflowers  Grasses  Meadows  Vernal Pools
  • 6.  1. Have a Plan!  Preliminary Long Term Forest Management Plan completed for Royal Gorge in Dec. 2012  Gives short term direction so we continue to move forward during the Long Term Planning  Allows for prioritization:  Fuel Reduction  Ecological Restoration (provide for wildlife, biodiversity, long-term fire resilience, ecological balance).
  • 8. 1. Identify and GPS all roads, access, watercourses, property corners, proposed treatment area. 2. Conduct surveys: biological, botanical, archaeological. 3. Mark timber: 1. Gap & cluster 2. Trees >12” DBH to be removed marked in blue 3. Sample mark between Pahatsi, Big Ben, and northern Hillside residences 4. Meet with Prospective Contractor(s). 5. File appropriate Exemption with Cal Fire.
  • 9. - Objectives: 1. Reduce vertical and horizontal continuity of fuels; 2. Provide for increased forest resilience to wildfire and other damaging agents. - Thin stands by removing conifers <30” Stump DOB - Space residual trees to provide for distinct break in crowns - Reduce surface fuels such as brush, small trees, and dead and down woody material
  • 11. “Feller Buncher”, a form of mechanized falling equipment.
  • 25. Chip Size (small) Chip Size (moderate) Chip Size (large) Masticated area immediately after operations.
