Location: Olympic Penninsula, WA, USA Copyright: © Janet Horton Photographer Code: 020208-04-ClearcutLogging AGPix ID: AGPix_jhorton_1289 Digital Original Comments: Commonly clearcuts leave blocks of "reserve" trees that won't be cut. These can be left to minimize the aesthetic impact of a clearcut, to maintain cavity or den trees for wildlife, to maintain biodiversity, or other similar reasons. Conscientious logging will leave standing snags and a mosaic of small "residual patches" for wildlife, and organic matter such as "slash piles" of unusable material are left on-site. These slash piles can dry out and increase fire hazard.
