Comp 16 - Stand 6: Thin the stand to 70 BA, focusing on promoting hardwood growth over aspen regeneration to benefit black bear, deer, and migratory birds. Do not cut all aspen and do not thin aspen heavy enough to promote regeneration of it. Thin from above, where possible, to release quality pole timber. Maintain species diversity for wildlife food and cover resources by not cutting oak, cedar, pine, or other underrepresented, desirable species. Comp 16 - Stand 49: Thin stand to 70 BA, focusing on thinning from above, where possible, to release pole timber and enhance diversity for deer, bear, grouse, and migratory birds. Cut all aspen to create a couple regeneration gaps. Do not cut underrepresented species like oak, pine, hemlock, or yellow birch, if found, to maintain diversity. Comp 16 - Stand 52: Cut all trees 2" and up at DBH. Do not cut any cedar, oak, pine, hemlock, or yellow birch, if present. Buffer open water by 100' or leave a 50' corridor along wetland edges. Treatment reflects a 50' wildlife corridor that will act as retention. See map for where to stop red line because of a suspected trespass. Comp 16 - Stand 56: Cut all trees 2" and up at DBH to maintain early successional habitat for grouse, woodcock, hare, and deer. Buffer open water wetlands by 100' and leave a 50' wildlife corridor along other wetland edges. Exclude low swales that crosscut the stand; these will also act as retention. Do not cut cedar, oak, pine, hemlock, or yellow birch, if found, to maintain diversity. Comp 16 - Stand 58: Thin the stand to 60 BA throughout. Create canopy gaps where desirable advanced regeneration exists, using the gap guidance to encourage maple recruitment to diversify the stand for deer, bear, hawks, and other species. Expand existing gaps when possible. Avoid thinning areas with low BA and avoid releasing beech brush. Utilize leave top guidance from MWR to protect regeneration. Comp 20 - Stand 89: This stand will be subject to a selection cut with a target residual BA of 70 ft^2/acre. The target BA was selected due to the smaller diameter size of the stand. Maintain species diversity by leaving underrepresented species.
