The Referral Process - For The Forestry Professional
Project #: 04-18-34Date Posted: 08/14/2018
Date Closing: 08/28/2018
Location: Alpena County, Ossineke Township, T29N R7E
Acres: 18
Forest Type: Northern Hardwoods
Work Requested: timber stand improvement
Comments: 18 acres of northern hardwoods on Ossineke fine sandy loam. Great potential for this stand that has never been harvested; not thinned or high graded. 120 BA, 5/6 sticks tall, sawlogs. Landowner would like to harvest the majority of the beech, leave the small component of red oak, harvest the dozen standing dead ash if possible, and thin the sugar maple leaving crop trees. Sugar maple DBH ranges from 10" to 22". Recruitment of sugar maple seedlings is lacking, entirely beech understory. Landowner's main goal is deer availability during hunting season, one area has small component of aspen, landowner may want to open this area up during harvest to encourage aspen regeneration.
Project #: 60-18-06Date Posted: 08/08/2018
Date Closing: 08/22/2018
Location: Montmorency County, Vienna Township S, T30N R1E
Acres: 80 acres
Forest Type: Northern Hardwoods
Work Requested: Forest Management Plan for QFP by SEPT 1 2018
Comments: A few of you have mentioned that you were able to take another plan for this Septembers deadline. If that is still true make your voices known. 80 acres dominated by high quality sugar maple, very small components of beech (bbd), basswood, and ash (dead). 110 BA, 15" DBH, 6 sticks tall, quality trees. TSI occurred 20 years ago, since then landowners sold 100-150 trees to timber buyers a couple of times. They are aware that practice is not sustainable and intend the next harvest to be a "traditional" thinning of the entire 80 focusing on retaining crop trees. If you are interested but not able to write a plan by this September please still respond but let me know your timeframe.
