Bids for mechanical vegetative control on Choccolocco were awarded to Bach and Devos for 233 acres of mowing and to Chesnut Forestry for chopping 219 acres. Chopping is expected to begin in December. Rain continues to affect operations on Geneva. Through November, 700 acres have been mulched there at a total expense of $189,270. The area to be planted was burned in mid-November with marginal success due to scattered fuel sources. Mussel Creek Forestry Services will plant 230 acres with containerized longleaf seedlings in December. Several contractors have been contacted for bids on roadwork, fire lines, and burning at Baldwin. Work there is expected to begin in late December or early January. Little River mowing will begin in mid-December. Treatment acres scheduled there have increased from the original 300 to 406. Even though we added the 100 acres, the overall cost at Little River will stay within the projected amount.
