Partial Cutting and Helicopter Yarding on Environmentally Sensitive Floodplains in Old Growth Hemlock-Spruce Forests

This case study details a study conducted in British Columbia in 1991 where the central focus is on methods of timber harvesting, specifically partial cutting and helicopter yarding, in ecologically sensitive floodplain areas within old-growth hemlock-spruce forests. The case study explores the environmental impacts and effectiveness of these yarding techniques in such delicate ecosystems.
