Committee directs boundary changes for Timber Sale Tract 09-26 after public opposition
Summary
Oconto County’s Land & Water committee approved revised boundaries for timber-sale tract 09-26, adding an 11-acre no-cut zone and buffers near ski trails after multiple public commenters and the Machickanee Ski Club raised safety and recreational concerns.
Oconto County’s Land & Water Resources Committee directed county staff to modify the boundaries of timber sale Tract 09-26 to include an 11-acre no-cut zone and additional no-cut buffers along ski trails following public comment and committee discussion.
Forest, Parks & Recreation Administrator Chris Firgens presented a revised map for tract 09-26 that included the no-cut area and buffers. The Machickanee Ski Club and five members of the public spoke in opposition to cutting along the ski trails; after discussion the committee instructed Firgens to make the sale-boundary changes as presented and return with a final sale map for approval. Chair Mike Beyer presided over the exchange. The committee did not record a roll-call tally; the decision was captured as committee direction to staff.
