Exhibit 1 - PDF Sale Area Map.pdf

This is a sale area map exhibit for a timber sale contract opportunity issued by the St. Johns River Water Management District in Florida. The map delineates the Heart Island Conservation Area timber sale location comprising approximately 343.5 acres in Volusia County, Florida, specifically within Section 28, Township 14 South, and Range 29 East. The project involves a logger-select thinning operation within mature slash pine stands that were established in 2000, with timber removal designed to achieve an average target density of 120 to 150 trees per acre or a basal area of 40 to 50 square feet per acre. The harvesting methodology includes removal of every third row for access purposes, followed by selective thinning of the remaining rows prioritizing removal of diseased, defective, and suppressed trees first, then intermediate and co-dominant trees as needed to reach the desired density, while preserving dominant trees in the leave rows.

The District estimates the timber volume to be conveyed at approximately 6,223 tons of pine pulpwood and 103 tons of chip-n-saw material, though the District does not guarantee the presence of this volume. The procurement is structured as a sealed bid per-ton timber sale, with the actual map exhibit serving as a critical reference document for bidders to understand the precise geographic and physical boundaries of the sale area and plan their harvesting operations accordingly.
