Estimated Acres: 122.2
PRESCRIPTIONRow1: 1) In general, follow the "Compleat Marker" guidelines. Mark cut trees with orange paint. Avoid marking conifers, obvious cavity trees, or uncommon species (elm, birch, oak, etc.).

2) Retain some older beech and aspen for wildlife (about 2 per acre unless otherwise specified), otherwise all beech and aspen greater than 2" at DBH will be designated for cutting in the contract. Beech and aspen trees to be cut should remain unmarked; mark the leave trees with orange "X". The contractor must ensure that mature beech trees to be cut have adequate falling paths.

Stand 29 - Stand is currently at an average of 128 basal area (BA). Thin stand down to a target BA of 80. Create 4 gaps that are 1-2 acres in size. These regeneration gaps will be where there is sugar maple regeneration present. If 4 pockets of sugar maple regeneration can't be found, talk to contract administrator to space gaps out accordingly. Cut all ironwood and beech down to 1".

Stand 127 - Thin stand down to a target BA of 80. Remove poor quality trees first, then work on spacing. Cut stand during dry summer conditions to create scarification.

Stand 136 - Mark stand to a target BA of 80. If sugar maple regeneration is present, marking stand down lower than the target BA is acceptable. Create 7 regeneration gaps that are 1-2 acres in size. These gaps must contain at least 50 percent sugar maple seedlings. Within these gaps, cut all trees that are merchantable. Protect all sugar maple seedlings in these gaps during harvest. Cut ironwood and beech down to 1" at DBH throughout sale area.
