Silver Pond Road Timber Sale

This timber sale is a logger-select thinning comprised of approximately 222 acres within the Lake George Conservation Area, located between Seville, Florida, and Lake George. The thinning is located within mature slash pine plantations that were fourth row thinned over 15 years ago. This is a low thinning that removes trees from the lower crown classes to free up the healthiest codominant and dominant trees. Trees to harvest will be based on the following criteria: diseased, defective, and suppressed trees shall be harvested first, followed by a portion of the intermediate trees to reach the desired basal area of 45-50 square feet per acre. Dominant trees shall not be harvested. The District roughly estimates the volume of timber conveyed in this Agreement to be 3,300 tons of pulpwood and 1,300 tons of chip-n-saw, but there is no guarantee that the volume is present.
