After the sale
Retirement of the sale area
Steps should be taken immediately after harvest to protect the land from
soil erosion. Roads, skid trails, and log landings should be reshaped and
water-barred to assure proper drainage. More sensitive areas, such as steep
slopes and creek crossings that were disturbed should be re-vegetated
to prevent soil erosion and provide food for wildlife. Roads should be closed
to all but occasional traffic, if desired. Again, your professional forester
should be able to help you in this step.
