Ray -
Enclosed is the management plan for the Canton Lake Watershed (and the
key). I have also enclosed some literature which you may find informative.
Part of this concerns the Forestry Development Act. This plan makes
you eligible for benefits from this act. This could include cost share reimburse-
ment and a possible tax reduction. Completing and returning the enclosed
certification form will guarantee the lowest possible tax rate on these acres.
Fill in the tax Permanent Index IVtm>ber (available from the Assessor), have
it signed by the appropriate party and return to me. Unless you indicate
otherwise, evidence of your woodlands qualification will be forwarded to the
Department of revenue. They'll contact the County Assessor.
As you will see I strongly suggest implementing a timber stand improvement
program to improve the quality of the smaller walnut and oak. A timber harvest
is also possible and could be followed with timber stand improvement.
Please read the plan over and let me know how you would like to proceed.
Sinc rely,

DESCRIPTION
' This plan covers the woodland located in the old fink
property (west of lake), the approximately 33 acres north
of the lake and the woods in the motorcycle club. Sugar maple
is invading the woods on all of the parcels. Sugar maple
is a shade-tolerant species (it will regenerate in the shade)
oak and walnut are shade-intolerant - they require sunlight
to regenerate. Past timber harvests and grazing practice
have removed many of the larger trees and left large, open
grown oaks. Due to the large amount of sugar maple throughout
this woodland, I suggest managing for maple along with the
existing oaks. Sugar (or hard) maple is a valuable lumber
species.
Existing tree species include red oak, white oak, bur
oak, Shingle oak, black walnut, sugar maple, hickory, American
elm, black oak, honey locust, black cherry. Oak regeneration
is minimal throughout most of the woodland. Area #2 (see
map) has a large amount of small walnut, with a few, scattered
oaks coming in. Walnuts can also be found near the water
station.
HARVESTING
Harvesting is the removal and use of mature trees; trees
which have reached their economic peak, trees that have been
injured or diseased, or trees that should be removed to improve
the growing conditions for the remaining trees. These trees
are salable. Harvesting tries to utilize the forest interest
(growth) without destroying the forest capital (growing stock).
This is known as sustained yield.
Some of the trees could be ready for a harvest at this
time. Most of the larger, mature trees are scattered throughout
the woods. The majority of the larger oaks are not in the
best of shape. Some of these could be harvested. However,
I would leave some t~ produce seed and mast for the animals.
My services are available to select, mark, and measure
these trees with you or your representative. I will also
furnish you with a list showing the number of trees marked,
species, and board feet volume. In addition, your timber
will be listed in the Division of Forestery's semi-quarterly
Forest Products Marketing Newsletter. This publication is
mailed to several hundred timber buyers in Illinois. and sur-
rounding states. You will also be supplied with a sample
contract and a copy of the latest timber prices as compiled
by the Illinois Cooperative Crop Reporting Service.
To get this woodland growing up to its optimum level
a Timber Stand Improvement project must accompany any harvesting.
TIMBER STAND IMPROVEMENT
Timber Stand Improvement consists of the chemical killing
or mechanical removal of trees which are either too thick or are
otherwise undesirable because of form, disease, injury, etc.
The removal of these trees (and vines attached to trees) should
provide more room and accelerate the growth rate on the remaining
good trees. The trees removed are generally not merchantable.
This woods would definitely benefit from such a program.
There are pockets of small walnuts which are being crowed and
their growth stunted by competing vegetation. Removing the competit-
ion would help increase their growth rate, improve their form
and increase regeneration of desirable species.
With the growing concern for our environment, it becomes the
obligation of every landowner to help preserve and replenish our
soil, clean air and water. Our forests perform many processes
that clean the air and water. There is no ground cover that retains
more water after a rain than a forest soil. Water is held in
the spongy leaflitter to be released slowly to the streams, thereby
retarding soil erosion. Through the growth process (photosynthesis)
air is purified by removing the carbon dioxide and expelling oxygen.
But, only a good growing, thrifty forest accomplishes these functions.
TSI work will keep your woodland growing at an acceptable rate.
My services are available to you to select and mark the trees
which should be removed from your woodland under a timber stand
improvement program. Selected trees can be cut down and left
to decay, killed standing - which later provides food and shelter
for many birds and animals - or removed for fuel wood. Herbicide
treatment will be needed on some trees.
TREE PLANTING
Tree Planting - This is the establishment of a stand of trees,
either in an open field, or underplanting in an existing woodland
which does not have enough trees. Only those trees that are adapted
to this site should be planted.
Tree planting should not be needed in most of the existing
woods. The surrounding seed source should be adequate. However,
any open areas, old agricultural fields or areas that need to
be cleared of all undesirable vegetation could be planted with
a suitable variety of natice hardwoods.
PROTECTION
Protecting your woodland and/or plantation from the harmful
effects of fire and grazing, is a necessary first step in any
forest management program.
Grazing - This practice eliminates reproduction of young trees;
it slows down growth. The new trees are eaten or trampled. Also
it compacts the soil to such a degree that it speeds up the death
of trees.
Fire - This destroys young trees, scars other trees, and slows
down growth. Plant foods become unavailable to the trees because
of chemical changes caused by the fire and through losses by erosion
after a fire occurs.
Conclusions - Woodlands are an investment. Returns will be
satisfactory only if the woods are built up and well-managed.
This report has given these requirements for the proper management
of your woodland.
Remember that a woodland is a living, growing community of
trees. Like any living community, it is constantly under-going
changes, which affect the management of your woodland. For this
reason the woodland should be analyzed again in 2002. Contact
your local forester for another forestry review at that time.
COST SHARE INFORMATION
This plan makes you eligible for cost share funding through
the Forestry Development Act. This fund comes from a 4~ Harvest
Fee which must be paid from every timber sale in the State of
Illinois. You can receive 80~ of your costs back, up to the following
max/acre rates:
Timber Stand Improvement: $ 44/ac.
Pruning: $ 44/ac.
Fencing (to exclude livestock only): varies with type of fence
Site Preparation: $25, $50, $75 (depending upon what must
be cleared)
Tree Planting - no-cost stock: $ 70/ac.
purchased stock: $170/ac.
Vegetation Control: $ 25/ac.
