Finding Common Ground:

Conserving the Northern Forest

Recommendations of the

Northern Forest Lands Council

Principles of Sustainability

Page 33: Landscape Inventory and Assessment Spring 2004 Walter Poleman, Instructor.

The Principles of SustainabilityThe Principles of Sustainability

  ► Maintenance of soil productivity► Conservation of water quality► Maintenance or creation of a healthy balance

of forest age classes► Continuous flow of timber, pulpwood, and other

forest products► Improvement of the overall quality of the

timber resource as a foundation for more value-added opportunities

► Maintenance of scenic quality by limiting adverse aesthetic impacts of forest harvesting, particularly in high elevation areas and vistas

► Conservation and enhancement of habitats that support a full range of native flora and fauna

► Protection of unique or fragile areas ► Continuation of opportunities for traditional

recreation
