2026 SRSF Harvest Map.pdf

This is a harvest map document for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources supporting the 2026 timber sale and forest management initiative at Sand Ridge State Forest. The map delineates the planned harvest areas for the 2026 fiscal year across the state forest property, providing spatial reference for bidders evaluating the scope and location of timber operations. The harvest map serves as a critical planning tool for potential contractors to assess timber volume distribution, accessibility, and operational logistics across multiple harvest units within the Sand Ridge State Forest management area.

The map illustrates the geographic layout and boundaries of designated harvest zones, enabling bidders to understand the spatial extent of the forestry work and plan extraction routes and equipment deployment accordingly. This visual representation is essential for contractors to develop accurate bids, estimate timber recovery rates, and determine operational feasibility given the dispersed nature of multiple harvest units within the forest property.
