The proposed timber sale would harvest approximately 80 million board feet of over-mature Sitka spruce and western hemlock from 2,076 acres on an even-aged management basis. The sale area is located on the mainland along the East Fork of the Bradfield River, 38 miles Southeast of Wrangell. Approximately 10 miles of roads and bridges from a previous sale, Bradfield No. 1, would provide access to the proposed sale area. The harvest would convert old-growth, slow growing stands to young, faster growing trees. Plant cover following harvest would consist of existing timber species. Wildlife behavior patterns would be modified but not adversely. Secondary effects on wildlife are manageable. Wilderness character would be lost along part of the East Bradfield River.
