Abstract

The forested lands of Modoc County form the northeast portion of the “east-side pine type” in California. This east-side type, which occurs mainly east of the crest of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Ranges, comprises some five million acres, and is characterized by open mature stands of ponderosa pine, relatively poor sites, dry climate, and irregular periodicity of reproduction. The type is an important source of raw material to the forest industries of California and to the population dependent thereon. It is, therefore, the subject of intensive research in silviculture, forest entomology and timber utilization, but relatively little specific information has been assembled regarding social and economic effects of forest management in this type. This report supplements in a small way existing information on the east side country by indicating for one segment of this region: (1) the extent to which public and private forest enterprises contribute to the area economy, and (2) probable effects of a large temporary forest enterprise contrasted to a small-scale continuous undertaking.
