The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Forest Service, is inviting sealed bids for a timber sale in Tate's Hell State Forest, located in Franklin and Liberty Counties, Florida. This contract covers a three-year period and involves a multi-stand first thinning operation on 25 to 46-year-old planted pine stands, with approximately 5,372 acres designated for harvest.
