Heart Island Timber Sale

The Governing Board of the St. Johns River Water Management District is requesting sealed bids for a per ton timber sale comprised of approximately 343.5 acres (“Sale Area”) within the Heart Island Conservation Area, located in Volusia County, Florida. The Sale Area is in Section 28; Township 14 South; Range 29 East. (Maps are included in the attached agreement.) This timber sale consists of a logger-select thinning within mature slash pine stands established in 2000. Timber to be removed includes every third row for access, along with a select thinning of the leave rows to achieve an average target density of 120 to 150 trees per acre, or a basal area of 40 to 50 square feet per acre. Timber to be removed from the leave rows shall be harvested according to the following priorities: diseased, defective, and suppressed trees shall be harvested first, followed by a portion of the intermediate and co-dominant 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 6,223 tons of pine pulpwood, and 103 tons of chip-n-saw; however, the District does not guarantee that the volume is present.
