This plan remains active due to forest health priorities and final approval for the 2005- 2014 Forest Management Plan.

Forest Management Plan
• Passed by the tribal and general council
• Framework for BIA and Tribal DNR forest management
• Eleven landuse management areas
• Each landuse management area has goals and objectives

Yakama Forest Management
• Within the forest management plan timber sales are scheduled
• Each timber sale goes through the interdisciplinary team process
• Due to BIA funding, forestry activities adhere to and comply with federal laws (ESA & NEPA)

Yakama Forest Management
• 143 million board feet annual allowable harvest
• Money derived from stumpage is distributed to the Yakama Nation, 45% tribal government, 45% per capita payments to enrolled member, and 10% perpetual fund

Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation
• 9,000 Enrolled Members
• Provides a majority of income and employment to the Yakama nation and people
• Unemployment has decreased in last 10 years due to economic development but still much higher than national average

The Forest Health Problem• large insect and disease complex• fifteen year western spruce budworm outbreak• 150,000 acres annual defoliation• bark beetle population buildups• an estimated billion board feet of mortality• two tribal declarations of emergency, 1997, 2000• increasing risk of catastrophic fire

How We Got Here
• fire exclusion
• selective harvesting
• low levels of harvest

Results of Fire Exclusion
• conversion from low intensity to high intensity fire
• species conversion from pine to fir
• initiation of second growth dominated forest
• increasing volumes per acre
• increasing levels of insects and disease
• increasing spotted owl habitat
• increasing susceptibility to large mortality events

Addressing forest health on the Yakama
• Developed silvicultural guidelines to control spruce budworm
• Increased level of harvesting above 200 mmbf• Prioritized harvest in damaged areas, “gray
before green” • Accelerated the pre-sale process• Gained relief on some harvest restrictions
concerning the northern spotted owl• Sprayed bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk) on
thousand of acres in 1990,1999 and 2000
