Use the table below to record stand heights and stand basal areas for each broad forest type in the FOP area.

The minimum stand stocking levels which must be achieved within 24 months of a harvesting or thinning event are set out in the Code section 3.3. If additional activities will be carried out to promote regeneration (i.e. in addition to harvesting) list them here:
