This timber sale is a combination of thinning, clearcut, and seed-tree cut within mature pine plantations. The thinning area is 312.1 acres of third row thinning. Timber to be removed from this area includes every third row for access and a select thinning of the leave rows to reach the target density of 200 trees per acre. Timber to be removed from leave rows will be harvested based on the following criteria: diseased, defective, and suppressed trees shall be harvested first, followed by a portion of the intermediate and co-dominant trees to reach the desired density. The clearcut area is 59.2 acres where all merchantable timber shall be harvested. For the seed-tree cut (9.8 acres), leave approximately 20 seed trees per acre and harvest all of the remaining merchantable timber. Seed-trees shall be healthy dominate or codominant trees that are free of disease and defects. The District estimates the volume of timber conveyed in this Agreement to be 13,100 tons of pine pulpwood, 540 tons of chip-n-saw and better, but there is no guarantee that the volume is present.
