Improved conservation management on privately-owned woodlands has resulted in cleaner water in Pacific Northwest streams and rivers and an increase in timber production. New state laws in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and northern California are designed to assure that timber cutting, hauling, and replanting are planned to minimize soil erosion and improve water quality. Two recent developments in Washington that affect farm woodland operations are a new property tax assessment for the state's 4.8 million acres of small farm forests and the Forestry Practices Act, which requires the planning of erosion control measures before skid trails or access roads are opened. Similar efforts in neighboring states are discussed. (9 photos)
