EXHIBIT C – ITEM 3 SITE SPECIFIC INFORMATION

FY 20 Wildlife Opening Fencing and Post Removal Work Overview: 11 select Wildlife Openings on the Bradford Ranger District have been selected to have old fencing and fence posts removed. The fence and post removal work involves the removal of individual tree and tree crib fencing along with posts. Attached are maps for each of the 11 selected wildlife openings. 2 maps have been created for each opening, 1 is a Vicinity Map where the wildlife opening is located and the second is a zoomed in map of the opening showing more detailed locations of the fencing and posts to be removed or retained. All fencing marked to be retained has been flagged using pink with black stripes flagging. Total length of fencing and number of posts to be removed is: 11,828 feet of fencing and 1,523 posts.

Note:

**The maps with a “1” in their title are the Immediate Vicinity maps and the ones without a “1” in their title are the Zoomed in maps. One zoomed out Bradford District Vicinity Map showing opening locations is also included.

**On the Bradford District Vicinity Map, the Comp/Stand # is used to identify each opening.

**When removing fencing around individual live trees/shrubs intertwined within fence, please only cut back what is needed from the live tree/shrub in order to safely remove the fencing and posts.
