This document is a Timber Sale Prescription for a contract opportunity from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources - Forest Resources Division for the Traverse City Management Unit's Compartment 4 Contract. The contract covers timber sale activities on approximately 188.0 acres across several stands, including marking trees for selection harvesting, creating regeneration gaps, and timber cruising. The contract work must be completed by August 15, 2024. The contract includes specifications for paint line work, timber marking, and timber cruising. Bidders must provide details on their proposed cruise layout and sampling methodology.

Mark all trees greater than 2" at DBH in these gaps. Mark the rest of the stand outside of the "aspen gaps" for normal thinning retaining target residual BA as indicated. In all stands, when marking beech, the contractor must ensure that mature large beech trees to be cut have adequate felling paths to protect residual trees from excessive damage. |
