State of Wisconsin Section 77.82(3),Wis.Stats Department of Natural Resources Printed:05/08/2014 Managed Forest Law Order Number: Page 5 of 11 13-010-2015 The Archeological Resources Inventory lists no archeological resources within this MFL property. The Historical Resources Inventory lists no historical resources within this MFL property. Invasive Plant Species Invasive plants may decrease the productivity, regeneration, wildlife habitat, and recreational value of your property. It is essential to identify and control small populations of invasive plants to minimize their spread. The individual stand descriptions list any invasive plant species identified on your property. For information on invasive plant control, consult Wisconsin Council on Forestry's Forestry Best Management Practices for Invasive Species;go to http://dnr.wi.gov and search 'Invasive'. Best Management Practices for Water Quality (BMPs) To protect the water quality in Wisconsin's lakes, streams and wetlands and to prevent soil erosion, implement Wisconsin's Forestry Best Management Practices for Water Quality during all forest management activities, such as road building or timber harvesting. Specific BMPs will be included in detailed practice or harvest plans. You may require water regulations permits to cross wetlands and streams. Please go to http://dnr.wi.gov and search 'Forest Management' to review all BMPs for water quality. Forest Health Over time, your forest may suffer from insects, disease, windstorm, fire, flooding or drought, etc. These problems may alter your management prescriptions. If you are concerned about forest health, please contact your local WDNR Forester or go to http://dnr.wi.gov and search 'Forest health'. STAND NUMBER 1 33 Acres Primary Type: Oak Forest--Large Sawtimber Secondary Type: Oak Forest--Poletimber Stand Information The most abundant tree species in this stand include Red Oak (29%), Black Oak (26%), White Oak (19%) and Bur Oak (6%). These trees make up a two-aged stand with two distinct age classes. The oldest age class of trees originated about 1923. Management practices must take into account that some trees will become mature earlier than other trees. Soil type, moisture and nutrient availability affect site quality, which limits the kind of tree species that will grow on a site, as well as the growth rate and quality of individual trees. Soil productivity also determines the amount of timber harvesting sustainable over time. It also affects other forest attributes, such as wildlife habitat and biodiversity. This stand has a loam soil. Loam soils are a mixture of sand, silt and clay particles. Loam soils are 23% to 52% sand, 28% to 50% silt, and 48% to 78% clay. Silt loam or silt soils have relatively higher amounts of silt particles. Loam soils typically have an abundance of moisture and nutrients to sustain excellent growth rates for many tree species. Take care to prevent compaction and rutting when using equipment on these soils.
