These are cut-tree-list files that have been converted to a tab delimited text file that can be read by MyFTP. These files correspond to the stands and treatments found in the fuel treatment guidebook. (Johnson, Morris C.; Peterson, David L. [in press] My Fuel Treatment Guidebook: Assessing forest structure and fire hazard for NEPA analysis. General Technical Report PNW-GTR-xxx. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station.) These are provided so that you can, with a minimum effort, get some financial estimates to go along with the information provided in the fuel treatment guidebook. You will need to add local information for site conditions and other variables to get estimates of costs, plus log and chip prices to get estimates of net revenue. For each stand there are up to four prescriptions. (Rx1 = thin from below to 50 tpa, Rx2 = thin from below to 100 tpa, Rx3 = thin from below to 200 tpa, and Rx4 = thin from below to 300 tpa.) Some stands do not have sufficient trees to implement the prescriptions that leave higher numbers of trees per acre. The stands from Region 3 are omitted because none of the prescriptions had trees that would provide any opportunity to offset the costs of treatment. Some of the stand files had cut trees of species that MyFTP could not handle as logs or chips. In those cases the species have been changed to something that MyFTP could handle in order to make sure that the costs of removing those trees was included even if they had no commercial value. Don't blame Morris Johnson and company if you find a species in a cut tree list that you know does not exist on that forest.
