Along Lake Superior’s southern shore lies the red clay plain in Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, and

Iron counties.

Bridging the Gap…Research to Management

• More attention begins to be focused on this area

• Wisconsin’s Forestry BMPs do not provide specific guidance

• A variety of research and reports have information about forest management on the red clay plain

quickly and easily because they are relatively impermeable.

• Higher volumes and velocities of surface water flow overland.

• Sand erodes easily causing a number of water quality problems.

Impacts to Water Quality

• High volumes and velocities of water enter stream channel.

• Stream bed and banks collapse and wash downstream.

• Sand from bed and banks moves slowly downstream and covers gravel spawning beds and fills in deep holes used by fish.

Vegetation Composition

• Manage for long-lived species.• If appropriate to the site, evergreen

species may provide more benefit.• Consider reforesting open areas that used

to be forested.

Timber Harvesting

Consider the amount of land that is in young forests (0-15 years old).

– Extensive amounts of land in young forests can increase the rate of water runoff.

Protecting Headwaters

• Water quality problems created in the uplands can worsen as they move downstream

• Timber harvesting must protect the integrity of headwater streams.

Slope and Streambank Stabilization

In some cases, it may be best to avoid conducting work on unstable steep slopes.

Crossing Streams

• Use temporary stream crossing structures if appropriate.

• Plate-arch culverts have the least impact on a stream channel.

• Properly size and install culverts.
