13  Claimed Area

This chapter is not a processing step as such but rather an opportunity to make clear the extent over which Improved Forest Management (IFM) activity is claimed for, across all strata types.

This is demonstrated in the following map, where the combined output of the parcels in the Mosaic (Chapter 11) and Natural Forest Management (NFM) (Chapter 12) timber harvest plans are displayed. We combine the strata regions here to clearly illustrate the areas which are excluded from the baseline due to factors such as legislation/logging feasibility.
