Constructing log landings

General Guidelines:

• Minimize soil disturbance and clear only the size of landing needed.
• Clear high stumps, dead snags, and other hazards.
• Construct water diversions to drain water away from the landing and onto a stable area of the forest floor.
• If leveling is necessary, cut and fill should not obstruct the natural drainage of the area.
• During construction, use temporary erosion and sediment control practices (such as silt fences) where there is significant erosion potential or where there are insufficient buffer strips next to waterways.
