Garletts Slash Wall Project

Huron-Manistee National Forests Wexford, Michigan Cadillac/Manistee Ranger District

The proposal is to implement construction of a slash wall via a timber harvest. All sub-merchantable sized material, cull material, and top-wood material would be used to construct a 10x10 foot wall sufficiently dense to exclude deer.

Location

Stand is located approximately 1 mile east of M37 and 2.5 miles north of M55 in Slagle Township.
