Weyerhaeuser Environmental Flash

Weyerhaeuser is committed to the principles of sustainable forestry. We also expect our recreational lease customers to join us in protecting water quality and minimizing soil erosion.  Please read on to help keep your club from inadvertently causing damage that may result in financial penalties or lease cancellation.

 

  • Weyerhaeuser must approve bulldozers or other large equipment before entering the property.
  • We often spread logging debris across erodible soil – do not attempt to remove logging debris without Weyerhaeuser’s permission.
  • Water bars help maintain roads; do not remove water bars or attempt any road repairs or maintenance without contacting Weyerhaeuser.

New Logging

IMPORTANT!!! Cutting will begin by the end of this week around the 14th or 15th of November by Weyerhaeuser. It is the land past Dwayne Hayes where the pavement ends and goes almost to the river. They ask for everyone to remove tripods, feeders, cameras, and ladder stands. Shooting houses should be ok. If you know anyone that hunts there please call them and let them know.

Weyerhaeuser land on 373

ATTENTION!!! The 146 acre Weyerhaeuser land on 373 is up for sale. No buyers yet and could be up for sale for years. Just keep this in mind if you hunt there.

The sign says STOP!

We are launching a new practice to improve driving safety around logging operations.  You may begin to encounter these signs on your lease, and here’s what you need to know.

WHY STOP?  This is a busy job site with log trucks, moving equipment, and workers

What steps should I take?

  • STOP
  • Be patient
  • Do not proceed until operator waves you through
  • Maintain a slow speed; use headlights
  • Use alternate route if one exists

Guidance around Active Operations

  • Always yield the right-of-way to logging trucks whether in a vehicle or an ATV.
  • When on the ground (outside vehicles), do not enter within the 300 foot buffer to hunt.  Do not discharge a firearm into the 300-foot buffer.
  • Never touch or climb onto any forestry equipment.
  • Keep an eye out for machines entering the roadway.
  • Always stay at least 100′ away from log piles and parked / loaded trailers.
  • While logging activity is ongoing, all club members and guests must wear high visibility clothing whenever outside an enclosed vehicle.

Gate 21 Loosing Land

Inside gate 21 we are losing 100 acres because the land owner will be clearing the woods and then graveling it. I will post a map on the site of the affected area. If you have a stand in that area you will need to remove it. Horrible news but beyond our control. More to come.
