Best Management Practices-Soil & Water Conservation
Best management Practices soil Water conservation Measures can be taken to preserve soil and water quality and to prevent their undue mixing.
http://www.wvu.edu/~agexten/forestry/bestprac.htm

Extractions: Note: This is the second in a series of forestry-related articles to promote proper forestry practices, forestry education, and forestry extension. The series will also speak to some of the misconceptions about forestry. Forestry activities, particularly harvesting, can have serious consequences on soil and water quality. Any good forester is concerned about these impacts. Measures can be taken to preserve soil and water quality and to prevent their undue mixing. These measures are known as Best Management Practices or BMPs. Any activities that involve heavy machinery on mountainous or rolling terrain require cutting roads. Skid roads are used to move logs from stump to log desk by bulldozers and skidders (specially adapted, articulated four-wheel drive tractors). Haul roads are used to move logs from the log deck to the public road. When the roads are built, bare mineral soil is exposed. When soil is exposed, soil or sediment can be moved by the force of water. When sediment moves, it moves toward a stream. The purpose of implementing Best Management Practices is to minimize soil movement, particularly movement into a stream.

Conservation scientists and foresters manage, develop, use, and help to protect these and other natural resources. Foresters Throughout the forest management and procurement processes, foresters consider the economics as well as the environmental impact on natural resources. To do this, they determine how to conserve wildlife habitats, creek beds, water quality, and soil stability, and how best to comply with environmental regulations. Foresters must balance the desire to conserve forested ecosystems for future generations with the need to use forest resources for recreational or economic purposes.
