About this file

The document is a Timber Sale Prescription from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) - Forest Resources Division for the C 47 Hardwoods timber sale in the Gaylord Management Unit. The sale involves crown thinning of two stands (Stands 44 and 46) totaling 125.6 estimated acres, with work to be performed in 2025 in Sections 16 and 21 of Township 31N, Range 05W. The contract work can begin immediately and must be completed by September 1, 2025, with access via turning left off US-131 on M 32 and proceeding approximately 0.5 miles to Marker Road.

The timber marking specifications require marking trees to cut with an orange slash, with sawlog minimum diameter of 10.6 inches and pulpwood minimum diameter of 4.6 inches. The total merchantable residual basal area (BA) is set at 80, with a minimum of 70 and maximum of 90. The prescription aims to reduce stand density and improve individual stem quality, favoring sugar maple, basswood, and crop trees while removing poorly formed and defective trees. Paint and GPS boundary work will be provided by the Gaylord Field Office, and all data must be uploaded from MobileMap to InventoryManager. The contract includes specific restrictions on marking, such as limiting markers to two per cruise unit and requiring each marker to have an assigned area.
