The report provides the context, rationale, and evaluation of harvest level scenarios across a range of mortality and growth rates in the Black Hills. This report provides scientific information that can inform discussions concerning future harvest levels on the Black Hills National Forest. Neither the report nor the webinar address potential management implications.
