1/n Hi all @BlueDotWaters here again!
Today we will discuss Forestry Pressures
1/n Forestry is the third most important pressure on #BlueDotWaters
The most common pressures arising from forestry are:
1. Excessive sediment (or soil) inputs
2. Nutrient enrichment
3. Acidification.

2. Nutrient enrichment
3. Acidification.
2/n Most sediment inputs from forestry occur during forest operations.
These include:
· road construction
· thinning
· clear-felling
These include:

3/n Much of the risk of sediment release can be mitigated against by employing good practices such as
· the use of brash matts along machine routes
· planning to avoid wet conditions
· the careful design of forest roads and water crossings,
· the use of sediment traps in drains,
