Abstract: Balancing utilization and protection of the natural environment is a challenging task. Forest management in particular continues to deal with trade-offs inherent to responsible timber harvesting. This chapter focuses on harvest scheduling where one is interested in maximizing economic returns subject to maintaining a continued supply of timber in the future. This necessarily means managing resources in a sustainable manner. As such addressing spatial issues related to environmental concerns is critical. This chapter reviews approaches that have been relied upon to limit localized impacts of harvesting activity.
