Figure 8D Total cutting of the strip of woodland is prohibited along a road corridor as long as regeneration in the adjacent cutting area is < 3 m
Figure 8E Block cutting and partial cutting along a road corridor
Figure 8F Total cutting of the strip of woodland is permitted along a road corridor when regeneration in the adjacent cutting area is ≥ 3 m
Figure 8G Strip of woodland preserved on each side of a trail
The strip of woodland of a road identified as a road corridor must be maintained until regeneration is established in the cutting area adjacent to that strip of woodland and has reached an average height of 3 m.
