Estimated acreage: 77.1 acres across four stands: 68 (14.4 acres), 69 (21.5 acres), 70 (19.2 acres), and 71 (22 acres).
Thinning: Reduce basal area from 50 to 30 in stands 68–69 and from 60 to 40 in stands 70–71. Retain healthy crop trees spaced 25–35 feet apart and release crowns on four sides.
Cutting: Remove undesirable trees, harvest-damaged stems 2–9 inches in diameter at breast height and/or at least 10 feet tall, and vines on crop trees. Cut stumps within 6 inches of uphill ground level, with angles no greater than 25 degrees; bring hanging trees to the ground.
Debris and protection: Cut all red cedar and slash below 3 feet. Maintain roadside debris zones of 25, 75, or 125 feet depending on road type. Preserve marked trees, boundaries, and wildlife trees.
Scheduling: Work period is one year, with felling restrictions during specified deer and turkey hunting seasons. Vehicle access is limited to established roads and trails during daylight when ground is dry or frozen.
Pricing: Provide an all-inclusive price per acre for each stand, including labor, equipment, materials, and supplies.
