9 O9 37.7 111-140 Seed Tree w Retention Oak/Pine

26 O9 33.6 81-110 Seed Tree w Retention Oak/Pine

31 R9 80.8 111-140 Crown Thinning Red Pine

PRESCRIPTION

Stands 9 & 26 - Seed tree stand leaving 20 BA of a combination of white oak and conifer species (green paint will be used for this). In addition, leave a few scattered islands of representative species throughout each stand (~1 acre per island - red paint).

The objective of the sale is to release understory regeneration while still retaining mast and seed sources.

Stand 31 - Thin this stand down to 60 BA. In areas where dense, advanced regeneration is present, open the stand up a bit more to release this regen and monitor response. Focus removal on suppressed, forked, or otherwise poorly formed individual trees first then mark for spacing.

Additional Information

Use the Sample Tree Ratio sample type. Record tree data for each plot starting with the first tree north using the Mobile Map application, then upload data into ArcGIS Online when completed. Use the plot layout function in MobileMap to ensure plots are well-distributed throughout each Stand/VDU. The default Stump Height = 0.5 feet. Mark each plot location with a stick in the ground with flagging attached, and also hang a 2nd piece of flagging nearby at about eye level, with the plot number written on the flagging.

Shapefiles for Stands/VDU’s will be provided by the DNR. County TPK imagery files are also available from the DNR if needed.

Measure tree data is not needed for residual trees, just tally by species.
