Amends the management strategy for land identified as suitable for timber production in the Olympic, Mount Baker-Snoqualmie, and Gifford Pinchot National Forests in Washington (State) to require that it: (1) establish timber harvest rotations between 150 and 200 years; (2) use shelterwood and seed trees regeneration cuts systems whenever practical; and (3) use thinning and intermediate cut prescriptions established to enhance habitats for species dependent on old growth forests while maintaining as high level of timber production as possible given the constraints of other multiple uses.
Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to revise the land and resource management plans for such National Forests to conform to the management strategy.
