Bars Timber Sale

The Barstool II timber sale has been logged. 450 year old trees were cut. This is the same type of logging planned for the Solo sale. Barstool II was logged by Thomas Creek Lumber, the same company that is currently logging Borg and plans to log Solo. Bars ATV was logged by Hampton Tree Farms as a replacement volume sale.
