PRESCRIPTION

Establish all boundary lines and GPS all Stands and Units. Mark all Stands. Cruising will be completed by DNR staff.

When marking, prioritize selection of trees to be cut in the following order:

1. Target basal area of 120 sq. ft. Focus on even spacing of residual trees.

2. Remove red pine 17 inches or greater at DBH.

3. Remove suppressed trees, damaged trees, and deformed trees.

4. Create a ½ chain buffer, marking all trees within this buffer, in areas that exhibit red pine pocket mortality. A GPS location must be submitted for all areas containing red pine pocket mortality.

5. Remove jack pine and aspen, where present.

6. Marking should be adjusted in areas that exhibit tight rows and operability is a concern. Reach out to the Local

Contact for details.

Reserved Species:

• Do not mark hemlock and oak, if present.

• Do not mark within 100’ of any raptor nest trees. Report these to the Local Contact as soon as possible and directions will be given at that time.

Paint Lines

This is included in the bid This is not included in the bid

Paint line work to be performed: (See attached map for locations)

TYPE OF LINE WORK TO BE DONE PAINT COLOR

Exterior line against private Blue

Exterior line against state Red (See map for locations where both sides of tree require paint)

Interior payment unit Yellow (both sides of tree)

Other: Green

Additional information:

Old yellow and red paint are present since the sale was harvested less than 10 years ago. An effort should be made to locate the sale boundary and unit boundaries on existing trees containing old paint. If not possible, or if the line needs to change locations, an above average amount of yellow paint should be used to differentiate the new yellow line from the old yellow line.

Standards for marking lines against private land:

Establish 500 feet of exterior line against private as illustrated on the attached map. The corners have been set. The paint line must be within 10 feet of the actual property line.
