The document summarizes a habitat conservation plan for managing timber lands to protect the northern spotted owl. It describes establishing reserves along streams and dispersal habitat for juvenile owls on the 53818 acre property. A dispersal landscape index model was developed to quantify dispersal habitat amounts and spatial distribution over time, ensuring the habitat exceeds targets in the conservation plan while maintaining economic viability of timber harvests. Strategic and tactical planning tools were used to develop a 150-year forest management plan maximizing financial returns while meeting dispersal habitat goals.
