   In the Fall of 1991, a 22 member Technical Advisory Committee began a process to review and revise the Silviculture Best Management Practices for Florida. That process which is currently on going includes many hours of study, much debate and discussion, and visits to the field, all of which contributed to and are reflected in this revision of the BMP Manual. In that regard, this Manual represents the Committee’s collective best efforts to establish and maintain sound, responsible, guiding principles for silviculture operations in the State of Florida.
