Prepared by Vanessa Hostetter The boundaries of the North Beacon sale, located in Township 24/25 N, Range 3 W, were given to us by the DNR. However, these boundaries were modified by the 100-foot stream buffers around the type 4 and type 5 streams as well as the wildlife reserve trees area in the northwest and south east corners (Figure 1). Also, we put in a 100-foot buffer around the power line in the eastern section of the sale area (Figure 2).
