interesting, I thought all tertiary logging roads and landings were supposed to be scarified and replanted at the end of the cut cycle, and secondary at the completion of the block. (or as the province calls themprimary, branch, and operational roads)
"Primary roads are permanent roads that provide principal access for a forest management unit. Branch roads provide access to, through or between areas of operations on a management unit.
Operational roads are located within the area of forest operations. They are normally temporary, providing short-term access for harvest, renewal and tending operations.
They are generally not maintained after operations are concluded and are typically regenerated, either naturally or artificially, along with the adjacent harvested area."

This thread appears to be addressing forestry practices in Ontario in general. However, for details pertaining to the Algonquin Forestry Authority, one can refer to the website's Resources section where there's an archived subsection .. . While it is quite dated by now, it does allow one to examine the scope of the AFA's operations in complying with CSA certification. For an up-to-date reference, one can access the AFA's own website .. .
As John alludes to, this forum isn't intended to be a venue to discuss forestry practices outside of Algonquin Park.
