  ents have intensified the need for long-term information that assesses the effects of brushing activities. Information is required for timber growth-and-yield projections, to assess impacts on non-timber resources and resource user groups, to expand our knowledge of applied forest biology, and ultimately to improve forest management practices. During 1994 and 1995, several vegetation management trials were evaluated ( > 5 years post-treatment) for the possibility of remeasurement to obtain long-term conifer response data. Candidate research trials were screened using published and unpublished reports, experimental design, field surveys, and communications with operational and research staff. Of those candidate trials, the Sunset Prairie and Stewart Lake projects in the Dawson Creek Forest District were chosen for remeasurement. These trials were established by Les Herring (research silviculturist) in 1982–1983. This report summarizes the data collected during November 1995 and August 1996 at the Stewar ...
