Timber
The soils are deep and lush providing a robust site index for the growth of sugar maple. The elevation gains provide great opportunities for hiking and excellent views to the east from the top of the property. The aspect would also allow for excellent conditions for gravity feed lines- should one choose to do maple sugaring.
The forest resource consists of predominately of sugar maple with oak and hickory comprising a small percentage as well. A timber harvest in 2020 has left a stand of trees in primarily the pole-sized and small sawtimber diameter class. Well established trails provide ease of travel throughout the entirety of the property.
