Timber- Approximately 275 acres to 300 acres are in mixed mature hardwoods and pines. There are some large stretches of timber along the streams and lakes. Approximately 400 acres of timber was harvested in 2012. Over 1/2 of that was documented to be replanted in loblolly and long leaf pines via government cost share programs. The balance of the land is in natural regeneration. This mix of timber ages creates a diversity of habitat for the wildlife and will allow for staggering of income as timber is thinned and harvested in the future.
