Timber Sale Silver Springs

This timber sale is comprised of approximately 356.5 acres within the Silver Springs Forest Conservation Area, located 1.5 miles northeast of Silver Springs, Florida. The Sale Area is in Section 20; Township 14 south; Range 23 east. Sale boundaries include roads, wetlands, and obvious changes in timber type (Maps are included in the attached agreement). The sale is a logger-select thinning of mature pine plantations established between 2002 and 2004. Timber to be removed includes every fourth row for access and a select thinning of the leave rows to reach an average 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 codominant trees to reach the desired density. Dominant trees shall not be harvested from leave rows. The District estimates the volume of timber conveyed in this Agreement to be 11,200 tons of pulpwood and 590 tons of Chip-n-saw, but there is no guarantee that the volume is present.
