Communication
Re: Forest Service Policy on Harvesting Timber
Letter from J. C. Urquhart. Forest Supervisor, Gallatin National Forest, was read in which the
position of the Forest Service in respect to timber sales in the Sourdough Creek drainage was clari-
fied. He stated that there are no immediate plans for cutting in this area, due to no existing transrorta-
tion system. but that good forest management requires that timber be harvested in a continuing felterr:
to utilize growth rather than deplete the resource, and assuming that construction of a road b;y the
City of Bozeman makes possible access to the timber, it would be proper to assume that the Government will
harvest from two to three million board feet per year in this drainage.
