100 pages. Abundantly illustrated in colour. Includes references, glossary and index. "...In a province heavily dependent on its forest products, and as rugged and mountainous as British Columbia, the evidence of logging activity cannot be hidden from view. Nor should we, except in special situations, try to do so. Rather, the Ministry objective will be to address the visual impacts of logging activity on the landscape and incorporate measures to harmonize such impacts. This handbook addresses this objective. It is considered an important tool for the use of those involved in forest, range and recreation management. It is also recommended as a reference source to the wider audience which is interested in the scenic quality of the managed landscapes of the Province." - from the Foreward. Part I examines The Forest Landscape: fundamental elements and factors, visual impacts and perceptions. Part II examines Forest Landscape Management - Techniques and Practices: implementation overview, landscape inventory, detailed landscape analysis, design lay-out, logging and silvicultural practices and follow-up. Appendices include: Identification of Viewpoints and Visible Area Plotting Techniques; Visual Quality Objectives (VQO's); Design Plotting Techniques; Visual Absorption Cabability (VAC); The Use of Computers.
