are usually stacked or decked for loading and may also be limbed and cut to length at a landing. This concentration of activities may cause compaction, erosion or sedimentation. To avoid these problems, landings and decks should be made larger than necessary to safely conduct the operations. The number of landings should be kept to a minimum as well. Adequate drainage for the landing is essential but excessive slope can cause erosion.

| Avoid perched landings which may fail and cause sunstantial erosion
problems. |
Decking logs along a road is one way to minimize the number of landings needed.
