Forest Management Plan Clause Samples
A Forest Management Plan clause outlines the requirements and procedures for developing, implementing, and maintaining a plan for the sustainable management of forest resources on a specified property. Typically, this clause mandates that the landowner or operator create a detailed plan that addresses harvesting methods, reforestation, conservation practices, and compliance with relevant laws or certifications. For example, it may require periodic updates to the plan or approval by a forestry professional. The core function of this clause is to ensure responsible stewardship of forested land, promoting long-term ecological health and regulatory compliance while minimizing environmental impact.
Forest Management Plan. As a condition of approval of any final plat for all or a portion of the FDP Properties containing natural forest stands, the applicable Owner shall prepare or cause to be prepared a forest management plan, which shall include mountain pine beetle mitigation measures and shall become part of the development improvement agreement associated with such final plat.
Forest Management Plan. A written plan that establishes comprehensive and long-term goals for forest health, management of forest resources, and protection of water quality on the Easement Property, which Plan has been reviewed, updated, and approved by the Grantee at least every ten years.
Forest Management Plan. Commercial harvesting shall be conducted in accordance with a forest management plan prepared by a licensed, professional forester, which is approved in advance and in writing by Grantee, and which does not impair the grassland and other conservation values, including the protection of animal and plant diversity. A copy of this plan shall be provided to and approved by Grantee at least one month prior to any timber harvest.
Forest Management Plan. Forest Management shall be conducted in accordance with a written plan prepared by Grantor setting forth Grantor’s long-term plan for management of the Property as a working forest (the “Forest Management Plan”) consistent with the Performance Goal, and the other terms and conditions of this Easement. The purpose of the Management Plan is to describe the activities that the Grantor intends to undertake so that potential issues that may arise out of operations can be identified, addressed and resolved in advance of the commencement of on the ground activities. Either within five (5) years following the Effective Date of this Easement or prior to when Forest Management is anticipated, whichever occurs earlier, Grantor shall prepare, and provide to Grantee for its review, the Forest Management Plan for the Property pursuant to paragraph 7 of this Easement. - Review long-term forest management plan for consistency with management plan requirements, easement performance goals, and other easement restrictions - Visit the Property to review specific sites addressed in management plan Within 30 days of receipt Every 10 years, (as needed for FMP review)
Forest Management Plan. 13.1 The initial Forest Management Plan for managing Forestry Activities shall be the management plan prepared by Bowater Mersey Paper Company as the ‘Medway District Management Plan with 2012 Amendments, v. June 2012’, which shall be provided to guide the potential operations of the community forest during the start up of the Pilot Project.
13.2 Until such time as the MCFC produces an alternative Forest Management Plan approved by NSDNR, the initial Forest Management plan provided by NSDNR and which may be amended by NSDNR shall be the basis for immediate Forestry Activities.
13.3 The MCFC shall provide NSDNR a supplement or amendment to the initial Forest Management Plan outlining the MCFC’s planned activities other than Forestry Activities.
Forest Management Plan. An important component of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ forest management strategy is longer harvest rotations. This commitment is augmented by a series of management options that will improve habitat conditions and are expected to result in conservation benefits to the covered species. Where even-age management is intended (Figure 4-1), regeneration harvests will occur at age 60 years or later. Where uneven-age management is intended, regeneration harvesting will not recur within harvest groups until regenerated trees reach age 120 years. In the unlikely event that all even-age management stands were harvested as soon as possible within even-flow constraints, the acreage-weighted average rotation age for the LCT during the term of this agreement would be approximately 78 years. This is notably different than the regional industry standard for timber harvest at an age of 45 years or younger (Washington Department of Natural Resources 2007). Everett will employ the following silvicultural regime to ensure the proper growth and health of forest stands. This regime applies to both even-age and uneven-age management areas and includes options for mid-rotation management. The specific options for this management regime are: reforest and monitor until “free to grow”; consider the most suitable mid-rotation management: o no mid-rotation management, o pre-commercial thin at 8 to 10 years old, o commercial thin at 30 to 40 years old, or o apply both pre-commercial and commercial thinning to some stands; conduct regeneration harvest of forest stands at age 60 years or later Under this management regime conifer stands develop through various stages until they are harvested. In the interim, operable forest lands are expected to develop increasing amounts of large-sawtimber, coniferous forest for the benefit of late-successional wildlife species while maintaining understory shrubs for spotted owl prey species.
Forest Management Plan. Shall be defined as a document prepared to guide the forest management activities on the Property. This plan must be prepared by a Certified Forester.
