Macon_Lakes_Tree_Cutting_Map_0001.pdf

This document is a project description and aerial map for the Macon Lakes WPA Tree Project. The project encompasses 321 acres within the Macon Lakes Wildlife Production Area and requires cutting and piling of trees within the defined project boundary (indicated by the blue polygon on the map). Trees must be cut at ground level, and all stumps must be treated with an approved herbicide unless the trees are cedar. Any portion of the project area along a road includes the right-of-way and must be treated accordingly. All piles must be positioned at least 100 yards interior from the project boundary line.

Specific restrictions apply to the work scope: plum and sumac shrubs must not be cut. Trees located along the fence line should be cut and treated unless they cannot be accessed without cutting the fence. The document includes three aerial imagery maps showing the project location and boundary details, with the main overview map displaying the 321-acre area in relation to surrounding agricultural land, and two zoomed-in views of specific project sections within the Macon Lakes Waterfowl Production Area. The project is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as indicated by the USFWS logo and branding on the documentation.
