| Description | The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Forest Service is seeking sealed bids for the sale of timber. This is a 348 acre thinning sale of approximately 40 year old planted slash pine from the Tide Swamp unit of Big Bend Wildlife Management Area. The majority of this pine has been third row thinned in past years. Approximately 84 acres of the sale area has been marked as an example area. Within the marked area, the trees marked with blue paint are the trees to leave. The pine trees with no paint are the trees included in the sale. The remaining basal area within this area averages approximately 40 square feet per acre. Upon completion of harvest within this area, the marked area should be a good reference as to the desired density and quality of leave trees for the remainder of the sale area. The remainder of the sale area has not been marked. It will be the responsibility of the buyer to leave an average of 40 to 50 square feet of pine basal area per acre. The trees to leave will be the better formed dominant or co-dominate trees free of any obvious defects such as forks, crooks, and cankers. Within the unmarked portion of the sale area there is approximately 64 acres that will be thinned on a different pattern. This "test pattern" is being tried in order to facilitate the planting of longleaf within this area. The forester-in-charge and/or biologist will be available to assist with proper spacing, flagging, etc. once work begins in this particular area. Estimated volumes to be removed are 3,653 tons of pulpwood, 927 tons of topwood, 6,772 tons of chip-n-saw and 2,472 tons of sawtimber. | ||
