Site Preparation

This activity requires that both the general standard (FS 1001) and the FFT Wildlife Danger Tree Assessment & Falling Standard be followed as well as First Nations Review and Comment procedures, and Species and Ecosystems at Risk LBIP Standard at the strategic planning stage.

If dangerous tree assessment is part of a Site Preparation Project, please see Dange Tree Assessment Activity for additional Standards which will need to be entered into PINES.
