Project 003 - Tree Girdling

This conservation project requires services for removing bark and cambium from trees.  This girdling is meant to kill the tree and create a wildlife snag. 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 and map girdled trees on unit maps prior to final inspection. 

Target Tree Details

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