SUSTAINED YIELD UNIT
OF FEDERAL TIMBER TO
START IN BIG VALLEY
U. S. forest service announced
it will endeavor to forestall unemployment in sawmill towns in
the Big Valley area of Modoc
and Lassen counties by establishing a federal managed sustained
yield unit for the sale of timber
from portions of the Modoc national forest.
The proposed Big Valley sustained-yield unit contains an estimated 774 million board-feet of
national forest timber which
would. be available for sale to
lumber companies, under competitive bidding, in amounts
needed to maintain their operations. The unit would consist of
82,185 acres of national forest
land.
An advisory public hearing
19 at 10 am.
in the veterans memorial building at Alturas, to give full information to the public, to obtain aid and advice of interested
persons or agencies, and to provide an opportunity for the presentation of the advantages and
disadvantages which the proposed sustained-yield unit will
have upon the communities affected.
The statement from forest
service regional headquarters estimated that all of the private
timber in the Big Valley area
will be cut out within’ a few
years, and after that the lumbering industry there will be almost
entirely dependent upon timber
from the national forest. “At that
time,” the statement continued,
_“A substantial drop in lumbering employment is likely.
“Big Valley has four towns—
Adin, Bieber, Nubieber ‘and
Lookout—and a population of approximately 2,000. About 60 per
cent of the people depend-for a
living on the five sawmills in the
area.
“The timber to be harvested
from national forest lands in the
proposed unit will be advertised
and sold competitively, with the
requirement that it be manufactured in the Big Valley area. This
will tend to maintain the economy of the dependent communities at the greatest possible level,
and will cushion the shock of
lessening employment and corresponding drop in. population
when the private lands are cut
out.”
Establishment of the unit will
not in any way affect privately
owned timber land within the
boundaries of the unit was stated.
National forest timber in the
proposed unit will continue available to ranchers and bona fide
residents for their personal and
domestic use.
When timber land is managed
for “sustained yield’, as it is on
national forests, the land is maintained in productive condition
perpetually. The annual
sawtimber on the Big Valley unit
would be éight million boardfeet per year for the first ten
years. After that, the rate of*annual cut could be revised to refleetpossible changes in forest
service tree-marking policy, un.
expected loss of timber from fire
or insect damage, and other
faetors.
An act of: congress passed in}
1944 authorizes the forest service .
to establish federal sustained.
yield units in order “to stabilize .
communities, forest indutsries, .
employment, and taxable forest
wealth; to assure a continuous
and ample supply of forest products; and to secure the benefits
of forests in regulation of water
supply and stream flow, prevention of soil erosion, amelioration
of climate and preservation of
wildlife.”

assistance Sunday of Wes Stone
