Dear Tiffany E. Williams,
This is a timber harvest notification for the property of 658 Old Colchester Road. All
of the property boundaries have been marked in pink flagging. This project will be a
selective harvest to remove the diseased and rotted trees, as well as the trees that have
reached their maturity. This harvest will be a traditional harvest where all the trees
marked with blue paint will be felled and a skidder will be used to transport the trees
to the log landing area. The tops of the trees and residual branches will be slashed
three feet from the forest floor or lower. The wetlands depicted on the towns wetlands
maps seem to be accurate and will have no harvesting except on the edges. There will
be one wetland crossing. The wetland crossing will be crossed with timber mats that
are 5x18 feet long put into an arrangement to keep the equipment out of the wetland
soils. Conn,. 2012 field guide of Best Management Practices will be used as reference
for the timber harvest. A selective harvest such as this one is permitted as a Use of
Right, please contact me if you would like any further information or if you would like
to visit the site together.
Sincerely yours,
Logan Thompson
