Project 002 - Felling Trees for Down Wood

 This conservation project requires services for the cutting of live trees to create Down Woody Debris (DWD). This project work will be done within the boundaries of units 517, 518, and 519 of the P Thin Stewardship project.

The Contractor shall furnish materials, labor, supervision, transportation, and all supplies not provided by the Government, which are required to complete the project.  The Government shall provide blank tree registers.  The Contractor will fill out tree registers prior to final inspection. 

A total of 214 trees will be felled on 107 acres for down woody debris.

Trees to be felled for down wood will range from 14" to 17" dbh.

*Due to safety issues or natural variation in stand sizes, there may be instances where cut tree sizes would be above or below this range.  Trees chosen for DWD creation should be representative of the largest DBH’s of the stand, excluding residual old-growth.
