Mendocino National Forest Overview and Timber Policy

The Mendocino National Forest, established 1907, covers about 1,082,600 acres with 866,800 government owned and 215,800 private lands. It outlines annual allowable cuts around 70 MM board feet, six counties affected, and detailed logging policies including high risk marking, unit area control, and Sugar Pine Management areas to protect disease-prone sites. Road construction, erosion control, and fire prevention measures are described, along with recent fire data, increasing forest use, and the first year with net receipts exceeding expenditures by 176,863 dollars. County receipts for 1955 are listed across Lake, Glenn, Mendocino, Tehama, Trinity, and Colusa.

Forest thinning and harvests boost timber income and markets

Tree farmers aim to harvest at peak prices through periodic thinnings and careful product selection. Prices vary by species and size, with markets for sawlogs, posts, Christmas trees, and more. Timber sales form most receipts, while stands grow in value with proper management and Roosevelt Pinchot era forestry ideals.

Titan 75 chain saw touted as top timber tool

Gillespie reports Titan engineers designed the Model 75 as the most powerful chain saw built. It features a floating power unit and independent motor to cut vibration, a V shaped outline for close work, interchangeable handles for one or two men, and a detachable swivel transmission for diagonal or 90 degree cuts. Field tested in the Pacific Northwest, the two man version cut big redwoods rapidly. The saw accepts 22 inch to nine foot bars and varies chain speeds via gear ratios. Proper logging planning and a written agreement with the logger prevent miscommunication.
