Coupes and indicative total sawlog volumes

Swan region - 2006

Notes:

  1. The gross plan area is the initial plan area before detailed coupe planning reduces the area available to be harvested by retaining silvicultural exclusion zones and applying other constraints. Areas will be harvested to a range of silvicultural objectives including thinning, regeneration establishment (shelterwood) and regeneration release (gap creation).
  2. The supply of other log products will be subject to demand.
  3. Additional sawlog volume may be generated from clearing operations associated with utility construction, fencing, or other activities such as salvage from wildfire or storm events.
  4. Harvesting operations in some coupes will extend beyond the 12-month period, so a portion of the log volumes will ‘carry-over’ into the next year.

Explainations:

® Coupes wholly or partly comprised of young regrowth karri, scheduled for first thinning operations. While these thinnings generate mainly chiplogs, some sawlogs may be available depending on the stand and operational settings.
* denotes coupes where the location of indicative fauna habitat zones may need consideration.
