Abstract
This handbook is primarily concerned with the establishment of vegetation on forest road construction sites that present a problem with surface erosion and sediment production. The soil and surficial materials exposed by road construction are inherently infertile and low in organic matter. Such areas can be transformed to a state of stable productivity by appropriate measures. It is obvious that a construction scar covered with vegetation is more pleasing visually than one that is actively eroding or gullied. Although this handbook does not specifically deal with aesthetics, it is a factor to be considered which should not interfere with functional protection of the soil surface. The materials and methods discussed in this handbook are aimed for use in the British Columbia forest environment. Physical, climatic, and economic parameters peculiar to British Columbia govern much of what is contained in this handbook.
