volume that has been removed by
the selective improvement cutting
comes timber for both firewood
and pulpwood. The better standing
timber will be permitted to grow
faster toward maturity for the
higher valued saw timber and even
possibly some veneer.
Thus through each of the 10
separate stands a specified plan of
thinning and improvement cutting
will be followed to get the most
economic return from the
woodland.

plan,” explains Olenderski, of the
