- Description
- Vegetation mowing on the Hiawatha National Forest Specifications for Vegetation Cutting Work The prescription calls for use of mechanized equipment, such as a brushhog or other vegetation cutter. Other types of contractor-owned equipment will be considered if the prescription can be met successfully. Vegetation Cutting: The objective is to cut woody and herbaceous vegetation to within 12 inches of ground, resulting in pieces generally less than 4 feet in length. Vegetation that is cut should come to rest within 24 inches of the ground. All cut vegetation will be left on site. For the specified unit: The units are primarily vegetated in jack pine less than 15 feet in height. However, there may be other species of trees present. Generally, other tree species approximately the same height or less than the jack pine should be cut and treated the same as the jack pine. Larger trees (there are few of these in the unit) are to be retained. Delays may occur if conditions are very dry and fire hazard is too high for safe operations, or if heavy rains saturate the soil beyond its ability to hold up under machine traffic. The COR will make these determinations. All sites are located within the boundaries of the Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Locations will be specified in the future if and when funding is available. A typical site will be vegetated in dense jack pine with blueberry, bracken fern, sweet fern and other herbaceous plants in the ground cover (see attachment). Trees to be cut are generally 10-15 feet tall and less than 5 inches in diameter. There may be a relative few other trees species present. Terrain is generally flat. There are furrows of varying depth present in the unit. Access to the unit is good. If any roads are bermed, berms will need to be temporarily removed for access, and then replaced when the treatment is completed. Equipment Minimum equipment required would be operator, vegetation cutter or brushhog or similar equipment of the proper type and size to perform the tasks indicated.
