Landscape Values

Careful location of logging sites and roads should occur to minimise the impact of operations on the visual landscape.

It is important to lessen the impact of machine noise on surrounding residents and recreational areas.

The presentation of the site is the responsibility of the contractor and the workers.

It is important that landscape values are maintained because of the strong view the public has on forest management and operations.

Landscape values are particularly important where logging sites are close to main roads, recreation reserves, or areas of high public use.
