SILVICULTURE

The Forest Development program is very aggressive at Hoopa. We strive to regenerate our harvested acres as soon as possible. The Tribe contributes tremendously to timber stand management. This program contributes for the duration of the timber stand rotation. For example, within 1-3 years, the Tribe invests in early release, and within 10-15 years, we pre-commercially thin.

The Tribe is also very committed to its inventory, or resources. We are currently in the process of our fourth re-measurement on a 10-year interval for continuous forest inventory. We have over 550 inventory plots established on the Reservation.
