planting with Douglas-fir became the pri-mary method of stand regeneration by the early s. Following passage of the National Forest Management Act of and pur-suant regulations, land managers on na-tional forests faced a new set of manage-ment objectives, including maintenance of biological diversity. Special treatmentsFile Size: 1MB. Purpose of and Need for Action. The NPS proposes to thin second growth forests on acres in the South Fork of Lost Man Creek watershed to reduce stand density and alter species composition to promote growth of remaining trees and understory vegetation, development of multistoried canopy, and increase the ratio of redwood to Douglas-fir.

Economic Feasibility of Longer Management Regimes in the Douglas-Fir Region Richard Haynes1 United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station Research Note PNW-RN February 1 Richard W. Haynes is a research forester, Forestry Sciences Laboratory, P.O. Box , Portland, OR   Clearcutting is efficient. Douglas-fir regenerates best in a clearing with lots of sun. If trees get too big, local markets for large logs may be limited etc. But if you want to grow and retain mature forest characteristics, what are the options for managing older Douglas-fir forests with thinning and selective cutting rather than larger.

Most old growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) range in height from to feet, and have a diameter of 5 to 8 feet. The oldest known Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) can be found on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, and is estimated to be between to years old (Earle ). Second-Growth Douglas-fir.
