This publication discusses three basic types of temporary timber bridges.

To protect wetlands, the best strategy is to go around them. If this isn’t possible, use temporary crossing options to minimize impacts. No publisher mhowell 2020-10-16T20:27:47Z Link https://forestryindex.net/links/temporary-stream-crossing-options Timber harvesting and hauling equipment can damage water quality by stirring up sediment and harming fish and other aquatic organisms when crossing streams. However, operators can use special stream crossing options to minimize the impact. Many of these options are temporary and can be reused at another crossing. No publisher mhowell 2020-07-29T08:38:52Z Link https://forestryindex.net/links/shaping-roads-and-trails Water running down forest roads and trails can erode surfaces, moving soil and other pollutants into nearby lakes, wetlands, and streams. One way to prevent this is to shape road surfaces so water runs off of them into nearby vegetation, rather than pooling or flowing along the surface. This publication discusses options for road shaping.

Sediment that reaches water bodies can hurt aquatic organisms. Soil also makes water appear muddy and can carry in nutrients and chemicals. Water diversion devices can reduce erosion. In fact, by controlling water speed and volume on the top one-third of the road, erosion can be reduced by more than 65 percent.
