T44N, R26W, Sections 4,5, and 6.

Planning will focus on integrated timber management, forest recreation, fisheries management, and wildlife habitat management. Increasing public access to state lands is a high priority. Forest road monitoring/maintenance, trespass issues, forest regeneration, forest health, forest fire control, BMPs associated with watershed issues, and any resource damage incidents are all critical assessments considered during the forest cover type mapping, forest stand exams/inventory, collaborative development of proposed forest treatments, public comment documentation, and sustainable forest management planning processes.

Many drainages and wetlands throughout compartment. Some pockets of upland soils that are accessible for forest treatments.

Part of a very large contiguous block of state ownership. Very few private inholdings within compartment or surrounding area.

Chandler Brook is a designated trout stream which passes through Sections 4 and 5.Poplar Creek passes through Section 6.

Compartment 54 is found within the Chain Lakes Moraine Management Area; on a Disintegration Moraine in Southwestern Marquette County. The dominant Natural Communities are dry mesic northern forests, poor conifer swamps, and mesic northern forests. This management area offers opportunities to increase diversity and perhaps long-term oak sustainability through under planting white and red pine. Another priority is to maintain or increase wildlife corridors especially along riparian corridors. Wildlife management issues in the management area are: mast (hard and soft); habitat fragmentation; mature forest conditions; mesic conifer; course woody debris; and retention or development of large living and dead standing trees (for cavities). This management area represents approximately ¼ of the oak resource on WUP state forest. The following have been identified as featured species for Chain Lakes Management Area: black bear, gray jay, pileated woodpecker, Northern goshawk, red crossbill.

Sections 4-6 & 9, T44N R26W, Marquette CountySurface sediments consist of medium- and coarse-textured and and peat and muck. There is insufficient data to determine the glacial drift thickness (

Additional Compartment Information:

The north portion of Section 6 is accessed by Section 32 Road. The east portion of section 4 is accessed by Miller Creek Road. The SW 1/4 of Section 4 is accessed via Camp 10 Road. The center portion of the compartment is inaccessible due to large lowlands, lack of roads, and private property.

None at this time.

Miller Creek Road is a state snowmobile trail, south of this Compartment. Hunting, trapping, fishing, berry picking, ORV use, and snowmobile use are all important recreational uses.

Lies within the Gwinn Management Unit area of fire protection. Wildfire risk is relatively low in this compartment.

Harvest Group Selection

Supplementing natural regeneration of white pine with handplanting of white pine at a rate of 50 seedlings per acre may need to be considered if natural regeneration success is not stimulated.

Remove defective, poorly spaced, high risk, or desirable white pine and red pine to result in an overstory made up of a patchwork of various stocking levels/crown closures. Retain some white pine with wildlife value characteristics. Remove all red maple, spruce, and fir. Varying gap sizes and intensity of substrate disturbance from logging equipment will allow for wider range of seed bed conditions which will be conducive for the establishment and recruitment of white pine seedlings. Follow work instructions by leaving Legacy trees.

Hunter Walking Trail should be graded once sale completed. Road would be available to plant to herbaceous cover. Berms shall be re-constructed after harvest.

Harvest all aspen, balsam poplar, maple, cherry, fir, and spruce. Leave any white pine, red pine, hemlock, elm, birch, cedar, and oak. Use patch retention, perhaps around the wildlife opening, purer patches of maple, or any vernal ponds located. Retain some bigtooth aspen for cavity nesters and goshawk nests. Leave some mature patches in stand.

Health Considerations

Unspecified97

Bob Heyd has indicated that this stand is highly infected with Diplodia, and should not be considered for red pine management at this time. The existing overstory red pine is already adversely impacted and not numerous enough to warrant a harvest. Understory red pine are also being impacted by Diplodia.

A coldwater stream has temperature and dissolved oxygen conditions that allow naturally-reproduced or stocked trout populations and those of other coldwater fish species (e.g., slimy sculpin) to persist from year to year. Coldwater streams in Michigan typically provide these conditions due to substantial contributions of groundwater to their stream flows. Such streams are established by Director's action and designated as trout resources by Fisheries Order 210.

Cold Water Stream

SCA

A transitional area between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in which the terrestrial ecosystem influences the aquatic ecosystem and vice-versa. Because of the unique conditions adjacent to lakes, streams and open water wetlands, riparian areas harbor a high diversity of plants and wildlife. Riparian communities are ecologically and socially significant in their effects on water quality and quantity, as well as aesthetics, habitat, bank stability, timber production, and their contribution to overall biodiversity.

Sawtimber Medium

30.6 124 111-140 Cut permit #43-88-1. In 2004, prescribed under-burning was tried after the sale but was unsuccessful as fuels were too

damp. A prescribed burn was done, in part of the stand, in the spring of 2006. A M3 midstory in many places as soft maple just resprouted prolifically from fire. There are some small patches of

W3 20 feet tall. Aspen whips invading along edge of stand.

5 4130 - Aspen Sapling Well 28.6 16 Immature Cut permit # 15-98-01. Dense stand. Sparse white birch poles. White birch, black cherry and red maple saplings present.


Sawtimber Medium

13.5 124 51-80 Cut under permit #43-88-1. A fire control line was put around part of the stand in the spring of 2006, with plans to burn, but the pine reproduction is so well established that it was decided not

to burn. At the compartment review it was decided that the stand should be scheduled for a prescribed burn, with a possibility of

underplanting if burning did not work. Heavily stocked understory with desirable advanced regeneration. Scattered

white birch and trembling aspen poletimber.

pine saplings and large red pine canopy trees which have 1/2 of canopy lacking any needles. Standing dead red pine. Higher

concentration of red pine in canopy to the south. Some 2-3 stick aspen and white birch. Areas where canopy is more sparse. Bob Heyde, Bob Tylka , and Tom Seablom inspected stand spring of 2016. Diplodia evident on pine cones. Stand is to be considered

infected and should not be considered for red pine management. There is not enough red pine product to warrant

an entry. Also, midstory very thick and will provide next merchantable products.

27 4130 - Aspen Sapling Well 11.2 19 Immature Moderate level of aspen stocking - adequate for forestry purposes. Sparse red pine and white spruce saplings.

Pockets of stem breakage, so patches of lower stocking. Nice straight aspen boles. Foliage damage on fir due to SBW. Black

cherry and white pine saplings present. Heavy white spruce regen on closed roads.
