About this file
This is a Timber Sale Prescription document from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources - Forest Resources Division, Cadillac Management Unit, for a timber harvest in Wexford County. The sale, named "Mark My Dream", covers 267.4 estimated acres in Township 24N, Range 12W, across multiple sections (6, 8, 16, 17, and 18). The contract work can begin immediately and must be completed by 07/01/2026. The timber sale involves Northern Hardwood stands, with two primary treatment approaches: Single Tree Selection for stands 6, 11, 55, 62, 76, 87, and 91, and Group Selection for stand 89.
The prescription specifies thinning to 70 basal area (BA) using northern hardwoods marking guidelines, with specific instructions to cut aspen, ironwood, and beech. For stand 89, the objective is to thin to a residual 70 BA and create one gap (150 ft drip line to drip line) per two acres, with a focus on releasing and protecting areas of advanced maple regeneration. The timber marking specifications include a total merchantable residual BA range of 60-80, with no sawlog or pulpwood minimum diameters specified. The contractor will be responsible for marking trees to be cut with orange paint and must adhere to specific GPS, boundary marking, and paint line protocols as outlined in the document.
