Research and devise appropriate silvicultural prescriptions, review and analyze similar stand prescriptions, and utilize GIS, department planning, and database software, growth and yield models, department protocols, Forest Practice Rules, and field observations while consulting with the region silviculturist and, in some cases, the biologist to devise a plan to successfully regenerate harvested areas or plan habitat treatments that meet department policies. Implement Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) requirements and Policy for Sustainable Forest(PSF) requirements on state lands, such as legacy cohorts and sensitive area protections like potentially unstable slopes, riparian areas, old growth, and cultural resources, all while maintaining a feasible harvest operation by coordinating site visits and consulting with biologists, geologists, archeologists, and silviculturists.
