Explanation should include

describing a program of treatments integrating specific harvesting, regeneration, and stand-tending methods to achieve a predictable yield of benefits from the stand over time
describing the principle methods of regeneration and desired age structure to maximize the production of timber crops
describing non-timber objectives, such as watershed health, wildlife production, ecological considerations, and other resource objectives
describing the production of planned harvests of forest products over the long term that accommodates biological, ecological, and economic concerns to ensure sustainability of resources; provides for regeneration and planned seral stage development; and effectively uses growing space and productivity to produce desired goods, services, and conditions.
