Guidelines are provided to help forest managers and silviculturists develop even- and uneven-aged cutting methods and associated silvicultural practices needed to convert ponderosa pine forests in the Black Hills into managed stands and maintain them for a variety of resource needs. Guidelines consider stand conditions and insect susceptibility. Cutting practices are designed to maintain water quality, improve wildlife habitat, enhance opportunities for recreation and scenic viewing, and provide wood products.
