When establishing paint lines: • Contractors are responsible for obtaining landowner permission before crossing private land. • Avoid using dead or badly damaged trees – boundary trees must last for the duration of the timber sale (up to 5-6 years). • Favor the use of reserved species such as hemlock, oak or lesser occurring species. • Avoid using small (fast-growing) stems and those exposed to direct sunlight. • Mark Unit lines so they can be seen from all sides.
