Soil productivity is protected by minimizing soil erosion. Soil erosion results in the loss of nutrient rich topsoil and organic matter, which reduces long term soil productivity.
Through planning and experience, we have improved soil protection and maintenance of site productivity. For example, we utilize log landings in connection with our timber harvesting activities. Log landings are areas near timber harvest locations where freshly cut logs are delimbed, sorted, and loaded onto trucks for transport to mills. To protect the soil and maintain site productivity, we keep landings as flat as possible, design them to occupy as small a footprint as is feasible, and locate them on dry sites. We have also incorporated soil protection measures into our environmental management system for harvesting that include using specialized equipment and logging techniques to spread out the weight of the equipment to minimize soil compaction and maintain site productivity.
In our southern operations, harvesting operations typically utilize a combination of harvesters to cut trees and log moving equipment to transfer the trees to landings for processing and hauling. We match the type of equipment to site conditions to protect the soil such as the use of flotation tires to spread the weight of equipment and reduce ground pressure on wetter soils. Other techniques that protect soils and minimize soil compaction include building a mat of logs upon which the large equipment operates.
In Idaho, we encourage our contractors' use of equipment that minimizes soil disturbance including the use of new innovations such as winch-assisted logging systems. These systems tether harvesting equipment using cables to stabilize it and virtually eliminate loss of traction and spinning that can loosen soil and accelerate erosion. Extra attention and investment is made in road best management practices, such as using gravel to surface roads that cross creeks, and to minimize sediment.

通過最大限度地減少水土流失來保護土壤生產力。水土流失導致富含養分的表土和有機物流失，從而降低土壤的長期生產力。

通過規劃和經驗，我們改善了土壤保護並維持了場地生產力。例如，我們在木材採伐活動中使用原木着陸。原木着陸點是木材採伐地點附近的區域，在那裏對新砍伐的原木進行分割、分類並裝載到卡車上運送到磨坊。爲了保護土壤和保持場地生產力，我們儘可能保持着陸點的平坦，將其設計爲佔地面積儘可能小，並將它們放置在乾燥的地方。我們還將土壤保護措施納入了我們的採伐環境管理系統，包括使用專業設備和伐木技術來分散設備的重量，以最大限度地減少土壤壓實並保持場地生產力。

在我們的南部作業中，採伐作業通常使用收割機來砍伐樹木，使用木材移動設備將樹木運送到着陸點進行加工和運輸。我們將設備類型與場地條件相匹配，以保護土壤，例如使用浮選輪胎來分散設備的重量並減少潮溼土壤上的地面壓力。保護土壤和最大限度地減少土壤壓實的其他技術包括建造一塊用於運行大型設備的原木墊。

在愛達荷州，我們鼓勵承包商使用能夠最大限度地減少土壤干擾的設備，包括使用絞車輔助伐木系統等新創新。這些系統使用電纜繫住採伐設備以穩定收穫設備，並幾乎消除了牽引力和旋轉損失，這些損失會使土壤鬆動並加速侵蝕。在道路最佳管理實踐方面進行了額外的關注和投資，例如使用碎石鋪設穿過小溪的地面道路，並儘量減少沉積物。
