PROPERTY TYPE/USE SUMMARY

The property has historically been used as forestland.

(This summary is an estimation of current property use as determined from aerial photography. It is made subject to the estimation of property boundaries and any errors in the interpretation of land use type from the aerial photography utilized.)

FOREST / TIMBER RESOURCES

A forest inventory recently conducted by a registered forester establishes an estimated commercial timber value of $86,000 (selective harvest of the mature trees).

Forest-wide, the wooded area is fully stocked, providing the next ownership with a great deal of flexibility in shaping their own silvicultural legacy. Stem quality forest-wide can be considered excellent with the forest containing current or future timber value.

Several Heritage Trees are scattered throughout the forest and old field edges, some estimated at 150 years old.

The forest is healthy and there are no signs of pest infestations of Gypsy Moth. The Emerald Ash Borer and the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid could be present which may result in the ash and hemlock trees becoming severely stressed over the next decade. There have been no forest fires in the recent memory.

The nearby New River supports otter, beaver and fisher, as well as blue heron, raccoon, opossum and chipmunks.

White tail deer, wild turkey, black bear, coyote, squirrel, raccoon, bobcat, fox and many species of songbirds and raptors make up the resident wildlife population.

A few bald eagles have been spotted around the lake and are a thrill to see with wingspans of 6-7 feet.
