MAPS AND DATA

KMZ file maps for Cherokee National Forest Stands.  All 10,000+ stands in the Cherokee.  Interfaces with Google Earth and other map services.  Click on a stand and the basic information comes up: stand, compartment, forest type, management type, age, basal area, etc.

Freedom of Information Act Request on the Forest Service's Stewardship Contracting Relationship with the Wild Turkey Federation.   Lots of censored/blacked out stuff.  Apparently things like seed prices are of national security.  Check out the slide show presentation between WTF and FS (slides 944-1003).  They admit on slide 998 that they want to do 10,000+ acre "oak grassland restoration" logging projects when they were assuring the public that they would keep their projects within an 8600 acre demo area.

Proposed Logging Treatment Stands for the Stone Pile Sale in the Cherokee National Forest.  The Stonepile project in the south zone of the Cherokee National Forest would feature hundreds of acres of logging and burning.  
The cuts and burns include:
  • 663 acres of heavy volume logging, including clearcuts, shelterwood cuts, and seedtree cuts for "oak and pine regeneration".  A number of these stands are over 100 years old and just coming in to maturity. 
  • 511 acres of commercial and noncommercial thinning that includes herbicide treatments
  • 983 acres of "midstory  removal" of smaller understory saplings
  • 1042 acres of controlled burning

Pisgah/Nantahala National Forest Fire History.  This data covers the wildfire history of the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests in North Carolina going back to the 1980's.

Freedom of Information Act request on the Cherokee National Forest's Supplemental Soils Analysis.
  A review of recently closed timber sales on what the agency classified as Soils of Concern. A good bit of censored material here.
