4A - High Volume of medium dbh 38- 49cm- (90%) and large sawlogs dbh 50cm plus (10%) 1400 stems to be removed, very few retainable stems (ash monoculture) and good access with room to land and deck logs off a major roadway with pathway access. The work extends over roughly 1km of pathway. Debris (tops and branch material) can be mulched and managed on site. Logs to be removed from site. Trail users are present and will have to be accounted for throughout course of work. This work will be undertaken in winter months.

The work extends over roughly 950m of boundary area. The goal is to retain residual stems and minimize disturbance. The species inventory represented across the site is Ash 55%, Elm 15%, other 30%. Wood debris (tops and branch material) can be mulched and managed on site. Logs to be removed from site. Trail users are present and will have to be accounted for throughout course of work.

The goal is to retain residual stems and minimize disturbance. The work extends over roughly 1.5 km of pathway. The species inventory represented across the site is Ash 70%, Maple 15%, other 15%. All material (logs and wood debris) are to be removed from site. There is a stone dust pathway running through the middle of the site with work roughly 20m on either side of the pathway.

4D - Mid Volume of small dbh 26-37cm (55%) to medium sawlogs dbh 38-49cm (45%) 500 stems to be removed. Site and soils are very wet throughout the year. The work extends over roughly 1km of pathway. The goal is to retain residual stems and minimize disturbance. The species inventory represented across the site is Ash 70%, Maple 15%, other 15%. Debris (tops and branch material) can be mulched and managed on site. Logs to be removed from site.
