A good multi-block approach:
• Provides a broader context
• Monitors cumulative effects
3. Some potential advantages
• Links to forest level strategies
• Improves economic efficiency
• Structures management flexibility
• Brings best available science
• Clarifies purpose

• SU-level standards– Conventional uneven-age and IC standards, Max density
standards– MAI-based standards
• Expected MAI benchmark MAI (subject to rules) • Multi-block standards
– Overall mean MAI 90% maximum possible MAI– Overall mean MAI(p) 70% max possible MAI– Deciduous density ≤ 1% overall density

• A concerted effort by all of us• Victoria staff can contribute by:– Providing training and tech support– Helping get the C&E and stewardship
monitoring parts in place– Learning from the experiment
• What do you suggest?• How can you contribute?
