The Referral Process - For The Forestry Professional
Project #: 004-20-004 Date Posted: 10/17/2019
Date Closing: 10/31/2019
Location: Alpena Co, Long Rapids Plat, T32N-R6E
Acres: 280 (some land in Presque Isle County)
Forest Type: Mixed lowland conifer, etc.
Work Requested: Plan writer-forester to develop a plan for Qualified Forest Program (QFP) purposes.
Comments: The landowner is interested in facilitating enrollment in QFP. The property is primarily used for hunting white-tailed deer. Overarching goals are, “Improve wildlife habitat for game species and generate income from timber.” A list of ranked goals as determined using Forest Stewardship Program form is available upon request. The parcel has experienced a few other activities on it in the past, including pasturing. Overall, the site is relatively flat with mixed lowland conifers; water is abundant. In general, the forest could use some time to mature and recover from past land uses.
Project #: 004-20-007 Date Posted: 10/17/2019
Date Closing: 10/31/2019
Location: Alpena Co, Long Rapids Plat, T32N-R6E
Acres: 79

Project #: 004-20-003 Date Posted: 10/9/2019
Date Closing: 10/23/2019
Location: Alpena Co, Maple Ridge Plat, T32N-R7E
Acres: 160
Forest Type: Mixed lowland mixed conifer, etc.
Work Requested: Plan writer-forester to develop a plan for Qualified Forest Program (QFP) purposes.
Comments: The landowners are interested in facilitating enrollment in QFP. The ownership overarching goal is, “Improve property-manage natural resources and beauty.” A list of ranked goals as determined by Forest Stewardship Program forms is available upon request. The parcel has experienced a few other activities on it in the past. Overall, the site is relatively flat with mixed lowland conifers and some exposed rock; water is abundant. In general, the forest could use some time to mature and has been impacted by emerald ash borer, but still has a considerable conifer component with a relatively high site index. Landowners have access to large equipment and experience using it.
Project #: 060-20-001 Date Posted: 10/9/2019
Date Closing: 10/23/2019
Location: Montmorency Co., Montmorency Twp., T32N-R4E
Acres: 167+
Forest Type: Diversity of upland and lowland forest types, with most work (90 ac.+) occurring on upland soils with an oak, jack pine, white pine, red pine, aspen, sugar maple, etc. component.
Work Requested: Property is enrolled in the Qualified Forest Program (QFP) and a Forest Stewardship Plan exists. Landowner is seeking a forester to facilitate a timber sale to meet current goals/objectives and QFP requirements. Landowner wishes to, “Maintain productivity of the forest resource for timber production and deer habitat.”
Comments: The landowner has owned this property for many years and uses it for hunting and other purposes. He has interest in removing all jack pine (2-3 stick) and then being creative with silviculture. Harvest will likely produce both sawlogs and pulpwood, with any low-quality material being harvested to facilitate future sawtimber in oak, aspen, red pine, and white pine crop trees. Some discussion has occurred regarding making some irregularly spaced and irregularly shaped gaps in the canopy (0.5-1 ac) to promote regeneration and browse. Discussion also occurred regarding the need for some larger downed wood on the forest floor for drumming logs and other wildlife uses. An excellent road system exists, and no haul or skid roads are expected; log landings exist and are spread out across the property. Access to main roads is excellent. An adjoining landowner with ~40 ac. may also be interested in harvesting similar timber at the same time.
