Comment: This is not an "Improved Forest Management Practice". Extending rotations for timescales not based in forest science (e.g. biological maximum) are not improved practices, they are just aesthetic changes to the forest that very well could have negative impacts on forests, the wildlife found in them, and the stakeholders that rely on them.

Proposed Change: Drop "Improved Forest Management" from the title

NCX response: Within the Voluntary Carbon Market, Improved Forest Management refers to any management activity that increases carbon stocks within forests and/or reduces emissions from forestry activities as compared to a business as usual baseline.
