Wood Products: <br />may be poisoned if only when more <br />- large quantities of ' desirable forage - <br />berries are eaten is not available <br />This site does not produce trees for lumber. There is a <br />potential for use of the trees as fence posts and fire wood when <br />the site is producing enough trees to be in the 15 +% canopy class <br />However, the greatest fence post and firewood production is <br />naturally in areas where. the canopy class exceeds_. 30 % since there <br />are more trees and_ they are much larger..

Wildlife Values: <br />Harvesting, chaining, and burning of juniper trees and shrubs can <br />improve big game forage. Some blocks of juniper should be left <br />undisturbed to provide cover for wildlife species. In large <br />areas where sagebrush and other shrubs become dominant, <br />manipulation that restores a mix of grasses and forbs is <br />beneficial for many wildlife species, Areas of sagebrush along <br />drainages and south and west facing slopes should be left <br />undisturbed to provide critical winter forage for mule deer. <br />Water developments for livestock and wildlife can be a useful <br />management tool on this site. - <br />6. Hydrological Interpretations: <br />Most of the Soils in this site are grouped into the "C or D" <br />hydrologic groups, as outlined in the Soils of Colorado Loss <br />Factors and Erodibility'Hydrologic Groupings 1979 Handbook. <br />Field investigations are needed to determine hydrologic cover <br />conditions and hydrologic curve numbers. Refer to NRCS National <br />Engineering Handbook, Section 4, and Peak Flows in Colorado <br />Handbook for more information. <br />7. Recreation and Natural Beauty: <br />The site provides cover for wildlife and may be a good area for <br />hunting big game during the fall season. - Other recreational <br />persuits, such as hiking and sight seeing, are available on this <br />site. <br />Shallow & Sandy Loam P3 #112 Page 8 of 10 <br />
