Compartment Review Presentation Gwinn Forest Management Unit Compartment 32250 Entry Year 2017 Acreage: 1,196 County Marquette Management Area: Chain Lakes Moraine Revision Date: 2015-07-15 Stand Examiner: Jason Caron Legal Description: T46N-R27W. Sections 22,27, and 34. Identified Planning Goals: Promote oak regeneration via. shelterwood harvesting. Promote aspen and pine types by clearcut methods. Soil and topography: Ranging from relatively level creek bottoms, swamp conifer, tag alder, and bog marshlands. Upland stands consist of only higher ground which is rolling to slightly hilly. A good logging chance exists throughout the compartment. Ownership Patterns, Development, and Land Use in and Around the Compartment: State ownership within this compartment is mostly contiguous, but does have a block of private ownership within the north half. Timber harvesting along with recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, mushroom & berry picking, and trapping make up the land use component within the compartment. Unique Natural Features: The Voelker Lake, East Voelker Lake, Floppers Creek, and other tributaries make up the natural features within this compartment. All of these water bodies feed into the Middle Branch of the Escanaba River. Archeological, Historical, and Cultural Features: No features were found within this compartment during this inventory cycle. Special Management Designations or Considerations: No special management designations or considerations within this compartment. Watershed and Fisheries Considerations: Wildlife Habitat Considerations: Compartment 250 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. Mineral Resource and Development Concerns and/or Restrictions Surface sediments consist of glacial outwash sand and gravel and postglacial alluvium and coarse-textured till. The glacial drift thickness varies between 10 and 100 feet. Archean granite/gneiss subcrop below the glacial drift. This rock could be used as dimension stone. Gravel pits are not located in the area, but there could be some potential. The Tilden and Empire iron mines are located five miles to the north; a large tailings pond associated with the mines is located just one mile to the north. Section 34 was previously leased for metallic mineral exploration. There is no economic oil and gas production in the UP. Vehicle Access: The Hemmings Lake Road to the west and the Hawkins Pond Road to the east are the main access roads into this compartment. Various internal two tracks are all bermed within this compartment and are for foot traffic only. 08/03/2015 2:13:59 PM - Page 1 of 2 POLEYN Survey Needs: No survey needs for this year of entry. Recreational Facilities and Opportunities: No recreational facilities exist. Recreation opportunities consist of hunting, fishing, mushroom & berry picking, and trapping. Fire Protection: This compartment is included in the 581 Zone Dispatch area which provides for a pre-planned dispatch of fire equipment. Areas of jack & red pine cover types with the encroachment of recreational seasonal dwellings have warranted this preplanning. Mutual aide agreements with local volunteer fire departments also provide critical fire suppression response, especially in the area of structural fire protection and evacuations.

Unit Compartment: 250 Year of Entry 2017 Report 7 – EXISTING SPECIAL CONSERVATION AREA DETAILS * This is a list of SCA's for this compartment along with a 1/4 mile buffer surrounding the compartment. Refer to the Special Conservation Area Map for locations of the below listed Conservation Areas. Conservation Area Type Description ERA = Ecological Reference Area HCVA = High Conservation Value Area SCA = Special Conservation Area SCA Cold Water Lake A coldwater lake has temperature and dissolved oxygen conditions that allow naturally-reproduced or stocked trout populations and those of other coldwater fish species to persist from year to year. Suitable conditions for coldwater fishes may occur in Michigan lakes if they are relatively deep, have substantial groundwater inflows, or are located in colder (northern) areas of the state. Such lakes are established by Director's action and designated as trout resources by Fisheries Order 200. SCA Cold Water Stream 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. SCA Riparian Area 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. 08/03/2015 2:12:52 PM - Page 1 of 1 S t a n d 1 Report 8 – Forested Stands Gwinn Mgt.

TS# 25-98-01. All oak, cherry, red & white pine was left. Seeded to jack pine in 2000. FTP #C31403 for herbiciding, disk trenching, and seeding of jack pine. Stand currently consists of well stocked jack pine. Jack pine is poorer form. Stand has a mix of big tooth aspen, red maple and white pine. 2 42499 - Jack Pine (OI) Sapling Well 15.9 36 Unspecified OI Notes: Was commercially cut in 1978-79 by Holli Forest Products, Inc., permit #13-77A, "Voelker Lake Block". No oak was cut. Some aspen & white pine make up a component of this stand. This stand will likely have to be cut with adjacent stand to the west (stand 7 of cmpt 251) for access purposes. 3 42110 - Planted Red Pine Sapling Well 19.1 14 Immature Stand was cut in 1999. TS# 30-98-01. FTP #C-31-406 for herbicide, disk trench, and contract hand plant red pine seedlings. Pine seedlings were planted in the spring of 2001. Stand has become established and looks good. Jack pine volunteers are scattered throughout the stand but are good quality. Red maple stump sprouts are here and there within the stand. 4 4130 - Aspen Sapling Well 38.2 27 Immature Stand was cut in 1988. TS# 22-87. A decent stand of aspen. Big tooth is better quality than the quaking. Certain pockets within the stand are showing aspen decline but nothing too severe. Continue to monitor the stand each YOE to see if the decline gets worse. 5 4130 - Aspen Sapling Well 63.4 27 Immature Stand was cut in 1988. TS# 22-87. Stand of medium quality. Some areas the aspen looks good while other areas it looks poor due to pocket decline. Overall the stand is doing pretty good but should be monitored each YOE. Small openings exist within the stand as do pockets of jack pine that are the same age. The western half of the stand much contain better soils as the trees appear healthier and are bigger diameter. Manage as one stand due to age. 6 4130 - Aspen Poletimber Poor 20.7 60 1-50 A stand of off site aspen. Very poor quality. Stand should be cut and converted to either jack pine or red pine. Aspen is small diameter and in very poor condition. A couple of cords per acre at best. 7 4139 - Aspen, Mixed Deciduous Sapling Well 28.0 16 Immature Stand was cut in 1999. TS# 19-98-01. Tree length skidding was used to scarify the site. Stand currently consists of red maple, jack pine, aspen and large oak scattered throughout the stand. Stand is in good condition. 8 42220 - Natural Jack Pine Poletimber Medium 8.7 77 81-110 A small strip of jack pine mixed with a few red oak and aspen. Stand is a chain to two chains wide and consists of mostly over mature jack pine. 9 4116 - Mixed N. Hardwood - Aspen Sapling Medium 17.9 5 Immature Sale was harvested in 2010: TS#114-07-01. All oak was left. Currently the red maple stump sprouts are what dominate the stand in terms of regeneration. The aspen regen. is poorer quality due to the sandy soils. Scattered mature oak and red pine are throughout the stand. The stand should continue to fill in as it gets older. 08/03/2015 2:12:57 PM - Page 1 of 4 POLEYN S t a n d Report 8 – Forested Stands Gwinn Mgt.

Previous notes say the stand was well scarified during the timber sale harvest and the hopes were oak would regenerate back. Aspen is the dominant species but some oak within the understory do exist. Manage as an aspen stand. 12 4130 - Aspen Poletimber Medium 14.2 42 Unspecified Small stand that consists of poorer quality aspen. Stand may have been left for retention during a previous adjacent cut. Hold for 10 years and then consider cutting. 13 4130 - Aspen Sapling Well 85.9 25 Immature Sale was cut in '90. T-sale #025-87-1. All oak were left. Stand consists of nice aspen with scattered log sized oak throughout. 14 42200 - Natural White Pine Sawtimber Well 5.1 98 111-140 Nice stand of white pine with a few red pine mixed in. Stand is on a small ridge and makes for a unique area given the young aspen all around it. Do not manage. 15 4130 - Aspen Sapling Well 27.4 3 1-50 Stand was harvested in 2012: TS#114-07-01. Regeneration has flushed back and looks good. Scattered mature oak, red and white pine left throughout the stand. 16 4130 - Aspen Sapling Well 67.8 26 Immature OPIC - FMD: Was commercially cut in 1988-89 by Minerick Logging, Inc, permit #24-87, "Plevna Block".

All oak was left. Stand consists of poor quality mature oak with marginal regeneration underneath. Aspen and red maple are shaded out and of poor quality. 18 42200 - Natural White Pine Sawtimber Well 14.5 98 81-110 Nice stand of mature white pine and red pine with scattered deciduous. Stand acts as a buffer along the stream edge. White pine and red pine are very good quality and large diameter. 19 4130 - Aspen Sapling Well 18.9 27 Immature Stand was cut in 1989. TS #24-87. Stand contains poor quality aspen due to poor soil quality. Stand is currently too young to manage. A couple of the small openings that exist within the stand are filling in with red pine. 20 4130 - Aspen Poletimber Well 104.8 40 Unspecified This stand was treated noncommercially in 1975 by Wildlife Division with KG treecutter - roller chopper, FTP #W3-517. Some areas of the stand show signs of decline while other areas look good. Due to small diameter and 40 year old trees, hold the stand for 10 years. Check in the next YOE for possible harvest. 21 4133 - Aspen, Mixed Pine Sapling Medium 43.9 3 Immature Stand was harvested in 2012: TS#114-07-01. All oak and red\white pine left. A nice flush of aspen regeneration exists along with red pine and white pine regen. Scattered mature oak throughout the stand. A nice crop of young white pine exists. 08/03/2015 2:12:57 PM - Page 2 of 4 General Comments: POLEYN S t a n d Report 8 – Forested Stands Gwinn Mgt.

The ridge contains upland species such as aspen and pine. Do not manage, keep as a riparian area. This stand is essentially the headwaters of a small stream. 4191 - Mixed Upland Deciduous with Conifer Sawtimber Well 5.0 98 81-110 Stand of deciduous and conifer that was left as a buffer along the stream edge. Aspen and birch are in poor condition. Pine, oak and maple are holding up well. Do not manage, keep as a riparian buffer. 28 4139 - Aspen, Mixed Deciduous Sawtimber Well 23.4 66 Unspecified OI comments state: This stand was left in 1988 to act as a visual buffer when both stands 4 & 5 were cut, but also because it protects a drainage or seepage of water flowing northward into East Voelker Lake. The central core of this stand is lowland brush. The north part of this stand consists of some large diameter red pine and white pine. Paper birch is falling apart with most of the stems dead or dying. Aspen is poor quality. Do not manage, maintain as a wildlife corridor. 29 4311 - Pine, Aspen Mix Poletimber Well 7.7 77 Unspecified Buffer strip along a flowage. Stand consists of a steep ridge down to the wetland edge. Jack pine and paper birch are in very poor condition. Paper birch contains dead and dying tops and is falling out of the stand. I notice a few oak seedlings but they are browsed quite heavily. Do not manage. 31 4123 - Red Oak Sawtimber Medium 9.6 83 51-80 Stark contrast in looking at this stand in which previous management has cut some oak versus the other stands within this compartment in which no oak was cut. This stand has a decent amount of oak regeneration, mostly in the form of stump sprouts. A more open canopy has also led to better regeneration of other species such as pine and red maple. 33 42220 - Natural Jack Pine Sapling Well 5.1 27 Immature Stand was cut in 1988. Permit #22-87. Hard to discern if this stand was planted or natural? Jack pine is good form and healthy. 34 4131 - Aspen, Oak Sapling Well 41.5 17 Immature Stand was cut in 1998. TS #14-98. Stand of young aspen with scattered mature oak throughout. Some of the oak is showing signs of decline. I considered cutting more oak within the stand but given the density of aspen regeneration underneath I felt it would not be a good idea. 35 4116 - Mixed N. Hardwood - Aspen Sapling Well 31.0 16 Immature Former cut. Scattered oak left throughout the stand. Different aged regeneration throughout the stand as well. Regen looks healthy. 36 4139 - Aspen, Mixed Deciduous Sawtimber Well 17.2 66 81-110 Stand of aspen, red maple and some pine. Stand is in poor condition. Many different ages exist. 39 6112 - Lowland Aspen Sapling Well 15.1 17 Immature Stand was cut in 1998. TS#16-98. Stand consists of poorer quality aspen with a mix of red maple and pine throughout. Large oak and white pine left scattered throughout the stand. Aspen is off site and is showing signs of decline already.

Stand was left as a no-cut buffer along the stream edge. 4130 - Aspen Sapling Well 23.0 3 Immature Harvested in 2012. TS#114-07-01. All oak and red and white pine were left. Aspen regeneration looks to be flushing back nicely. Hard to tell if the aspen regeneration is big tooth or quaking. 42 4191 - Mixed Upland Deciduous with Conifer Sawtimber Medium 13.8 40 1-50 This stand is mostly semi-open and offers many of the same benefits to wildlife that grass openings provide. Stand offers good biodiversity at present. Most of the aspen clones are smaller diameter (6-7 inch) and relatively young (perhaps 40 yrs). Collectively, oak has 30 sq.ft/acre here. Hold stand for another 10 years to provide more diversity. 43 4130 - Aspen Sapling Well 66.9 18 Immature Stand was harvested in 1997, permit #106-97-01. All oak, red & white pine was left.
