1. Thin to avoid overstocking, which can increase mortality from drought, insects, disease, and wildfire.
2. Provide structural features at stand and landscape scales to meet the varying habitat requirements of plants and animals.
3. Use vegetative buffers to mitigate effects of harvest on stream and riparian microclimates and habitat.
4. Following disturbance, manage for prompt revegetation with adapted plant communities.
5. Promote development of mixed-species forests.
6. Maintain a balance of age classes, from regeneration to old-growth, at the landscape scale.
