Optimize sustainable timber production while enhancing and protecting wildlife habitat. Protect riparian areas during management activity implementing Best Management Practices guidelines. Respond to Forest Health risks accordingly.

This compartment is primarily Carbondale/Cathro mucks in the lowlands while Pemenee/Rousseau fine sands are present in the uplands. Terrain is lowland with small rolling hills. A couple Eskers are present in the middle of compartment.

Mainly contiguous Sate of Michigan ownership with the exception of private land in Section 26. Hunting, fishing, trapping and camping are the main recreational use patterns.

West Branch of Escanaba River and Lake 36.

None known.

Cold water stream designation on West Branch of Escanaba River. Lake 36 Flooding State Wildlife Management Area in Sections 25 & 36.

This compartment is in the Ralph Ground Moraine Management Area which has the following featured species: American woodcock, black bear, northern goshawk, ruffed grouse, and white-tailed deer. Balancing the age classes of aspen to provide early successional habitat through mature aspen forest is a goal in this compartment. Lowland conifers and lowland hardwood types provide winter and summer cover and are essential for travel corridors for a many species of wildlife and provide essential habitat for riparian species. Mesic conifer in the uplands is promoted to provide structural diversity within stands which increases habitat value, as cover for wildlife. Mast production, such as oak, cherry and raspberry are encouraged to provide valuable forage for bear, deer, and grouse. This compartment includes Lake 36 and was once a flooded impoundment.

A coldwater lake has temperature and dissolved oxygen conditions that allow naturally-reproduced or stocked trout populations and those of other coldwater fish species to persist from year to year. Suitable conditions for coldwater fishes may occur in Michigan lakes if they are relatively deep, have substantial groundwater inflows, or are located in colder (northern) areas of the state. Such lakes are established by Director's action and designated as trout resources by Fisheries Order 200.

Cold Water LakeSCA

A coldwater stream has temperature and dissolved oxygen conditions that allow naturally-reproduced or stocked trout populations and those of other coldwater fish species (e.g., slimy sculpin) to persist from year to year. Coldwater streams in Michigan typically provide these conditions due to substantial contributions of groundwater to their stream flows. Such streams are established by Director's action and designated as trout resources by Fisheries Order 210.

Cold Water Stream

SCA

A transitional area between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in which the terrestrial ecosystem influences the aquatic ecosystem and vice-versa. Because of the unique conditions adjacent to lakes, streams and open water wetlands, riparian areas harbor a high diversity of plants and wildlife. Riparian communities are ecologically and socially significant in their effects on water quality and quantity, as well as aesthetics, habitat, bank stability, timber production, and their contribution to overall biodiversity.
