Logs are shown in piles along Burma Road on March 22, 2018, on North Post at Fort McCoy, Wis. The logs were part of a timber harvest near the roadway by FutureWood Corp. of Hayward, Wis. The company was cutting in training area M-7 on the north end of Burma Road. Timber sales are administered by the Omaha District of the Army Corps of Engineers and are sold by sealed bid. Timber sale bidding is held once each year, typically in December. Revenue from the timber sales goes into an Armywide forestry account and is returned to fund forestry projects on Fort McCoy. The timber harvest activities also support Fort McCoy’s strategic objective of enhancing the post’s military training value through improved area utilization and land use initiatives.
