About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Timber Sale Prescription document from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Forest Resources Division, for the Grayling Management Unit. The project involves marking timber for harvest across approximately 406.9 acres within Compartment 72298, encompassing eight stands (7, 12, 32, 41, 55, 59, 64, and 86) located in Towns 25N and 26N, Ranges 02W and 01W. The contractor's work can begin immediately and must be completed by August 1, 2025. The primary services required include timber marking specifications, boundary line painting, and GPS data collection. Timber marking will designate trees for harvest and retention using prescribed symbols and paint colors, with specifications varying by stand and cover type. Boundary work includes painting exterior lines (blue against private land, red against state property) and interior payment unit lines (yellow). All GPS data from boundary and cruise activities must be uploaded to InventoryManager via MobileMap.

The document specifies detailed marking standards for sawlogs (minimum 10.6" DBH) and pulpwood (minimum 4.6" DBH), with residual basal area targets ranging from 90 to 120 depending on stand. Treatments include systematic thinning and crown thinning operations focused on maintaining red pine stands while removing competing species including jack pine, aspen, northern pin oak, and maple. Pricing will be based on estimated acreage with payment structured by treatment unit. Cruising is explicitly not included in this contract, and a cruise layout file will be provided by DNR. The contractor must maintain records identifying which personnel performed marking or cruising work in each unit and provide a summary of paint consumed (in quarts). The local contact is Cole Michaud at the Mio Office, telephone (989) 590-1220.

PRESCRIPTIONRow1: - Stand 7: Row thin the red pine. Take 1 row, leave 2. The rows are not uniform and spacing is too narrow in places to designate every third row. Some areas will thin by default through removal of the JP-NPO-A, but 100% marking all red pine "cut trees" will still be needed to make sure equipment can get through. All jack pine, northern pin oak, and aspen are designated for removal.

- Stand 12: Row thin red pine by taking 1 row and leaving 2 rows, or taking 2 rows and leaving 4 rows, depending on row spacing. Aspen will be designated for removal.

- Stand 32: Row thin the red pine. Take 1 row, leave 2. The rows are not uniform and spacing is too narrow in places to designate every third row. Some areas will thin by default through removal of the RM-JP-NPO-A, but 100% marking all red pine "cut trees" will still be needed to make sure equipment can get through. All jack pine, northern pin oak, and aspen are designated for removal.

- Stand 41: Thin red pine to a residual BA of 120.

- Stand 55: Thin the planted red pine to a residual BA of 100. All jack pine, maple, and aspen are designated for removal.

- Stand 59: Thin red pine to a residual BA of 90.

- Stand 64: Row thin the red pine. Take 1 row, leave 2. The rows are not uniform and spacing is too narrow in places to designate every third row. Some areas will thin by default through removal of the RM-JP-NPO-A, but 100% marking all red pine "cut trees" will still be needed to make sure equipment can get through. All jack pine, northern pin oak, and aspen are designated for removal.

- Stand 86: Row thin red pine by taking 1 row and leaving 2 rows, or taking 2 rows and leaving 4 rows, depending on row spacing.

Exclusions to mark and why: Some of the treatment boundary may need to be adjusted to exclude areas that need to be protected. If any areas are deemed too steep during sale prep, please notify the local contact and these areas may be marked out with red boundary paint, or not marked to cut depending on the size of area.
Standards for marking lines against private land: A portion of the sale boundary along the west side of Stand 7 is along US Forest Service ownership - These boundaries have been marked with red and/or orange paint on the USFS side - The State-owned side of the boundaries needs to be marked with blue paint.
