This learning resource outlines how forest practices are assessed to ensure they maintain or enhance the supply of economically valuable commercial timber. Using the Stand Development Protocol, the program evaluates previously harvested areas for tree species diversity, forest productivity, and health. It compares stands harvested before and after December 2005 to determine the effectiveness of forest regeneration practices. Supporting materials include detailed protocols and field cards for monitoring stand development and stump identification.
