Detailed explanation-1: -The Oregon Forest Practices Act (FPA) sets standards for all commercial activities involving the establishment, management, or harvesting of trees on Oregon’s forestlands. Oregon law gives the Board of Forestry primary responsibility to interpret the FPA and set rules for forest practices.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Oregon Forest Practice Act requires landowners to reforest after logging if tree stocking levels are below the standards set in the rules. These requirements apply after any type of harvest. Oregon has long been a leader in the field of reforestation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Oregon rules limit clearcuts to 120 acres, and adjacent areas in the same ownership cannot be clearcut until new trees on the original harvest site are at least four feet tall or are four years-old and the stand is free-to-grow.
Detailed explanation-4: -As mentioned, deforestation has proven to be detrimental in many ways. Landslides, loss of trees and the destruction of many ecosystems are among local problems.
