Loggers will be felling and harvesting damaged and downed timber from the 2020 derecho in the East Salt Creek and Vermace Woods Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) in Tama County, from October through March 2022.
Hunters and hikers are encouraged to avoid the active logging operation and utilize other wildlife areas until the salvage operation has been completed.
