Brandon Gulch and Camp 3
were THPs originally approved in 2000 and halted from operation by a
lawsuit brought by the Campaign to Restore Jackson State Forest (see
historical summaries, photos, and maps of
these THPs).
After a new management plan for
Jackson Forest was approved in 2008, a negotiated settlement among all of
the parties involved in the contracts for the THPs and the previous
lawsuit reached an agreement on modifying these two legacy THPs. The
agreement set aside a portion of Camp 3 to be an unharvested as a preserve
(or experimental control). The remaining areas in both THPs were to be
managed to accelerate development of "late seral" (old growth)
characteristics. The Jackson Advisory Group was given the task of
developing guidelines for implementing late seral development in these
THPs.
