The Forestry Program has completed two Timber Harvest Plans for Little
Creek Unit that complied with State and Local Timber Regulations.
The first harvest was completed in 1990-91 and harvested 1.5 million
bf for a gross return of $200,000. The second was undertaken in 1993-95
and grossed $542,803 for the same amount of timber. The difference
in return is due to the increased price for timber in recent years.
Approximately 260 acres were harvested in total. Timber harvesting
is done by Big Creek Lumber Company or others, depending on the sale
bid.
Preparations to develop a THP for the Scotts Creek unit will be resumed
if zoning changes can be obtained on the Scotts Creek Unit.
