  Brochure Thinning Schedules
for Intensive Forest Management

During Phase II (2005-2008) project specialists are planning to develop methodology and techniques for establishing forest norms for large territories (regions) by the example of Pskov Oblast.

New forest norms are intended for practical application in the public and private sectors in the sub-zone of the southern taiga in the European part of Russia.

In April a panel of experts in the Council of the Federal Forestry Agency reviewed norms for commercial thinning (thinning schedules) and recommended them for operational testing in Pskov, Leningrad, and Novgorod Oblasts.

The project is also planning to develop the following forest norms for Pskov Oblast:

norms for final felling (clear and non-clear cuts);
norms for commercial thinning;
norms for regeneration;
regional criteria for conservation of biodiversity in nature conservation planning.
