Sunnyhill Restoration Area, West Tract 2027 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 331.6 acres (“Sale Area”) within the Sunnyhill Restoration Area, located in Marion County, Florida. The Sale Area is in Section 12; Township 17 South; Range 24 East. Sale boundaries include roads, firebreaks, swamps, and obvious changes in timber type. (Maps are included in the attached agreement.) This timber sale includes marked timber and logger-select thinning. The marked area consists of 253.2 acres of mature slash pine, with harvest trees identified by blue paint at eye level. These trees were established approximately 38 years ago and thinned 16 years ago. The logger select area comprises 78.4 acres of mature slash pine to be thinned to a basal area of 40 to 45 square feet per acre. Stand 1902074A is optional for thinning. Although its overall density is already sufficiently low, the Purchaser may harvest poor-quality trees and thin dense pockets with prior approval from the District’s Project Manager. In logger-select areas, the thinning prescription is to first remove diseased, defective, and suppressed trees, then remove enough intermediate and codominant trees to achieve the desired density. The District estimates the volume of timber conveyed in this Agreement to be 3,815 tons of pine pulpwood, 1,775 tons of chip-n-saw, 1,178 tons of sawtimber, but there is no guarantee that the volume is present.
