This well-maintained timber resource can provide a great deal of flexibility to the next ownership. Capital timber value of the timber and pulpwood has not yet been determined. The forest has predominantly well drained upland terrain which has led to a resource dominated by hardwood species. Overall, the species compensation is highly desirable and favors Appalachian hardwood types, consisting primarily of black walnut, sugar maple, poplar, basswood, red oak groups, white oak and chestnut oak, soft maple, hickory, and a host of associated species. WILDLIFE Years of wildlife management practices have created the ideal wildlife preserve. Early on, management goals promoted overall wildlife health, facilitated the harvest of game, developed wildlife viewing areas, increased carrying capacity, and increased species diversity. The Greenbrier River and New River are major contributors to the local ecosystem richness and diversity for both plants and animals. The many solid and dashed blueline streams and feeders which flow through the property for nearly 5.2 miles and the surrounding aquatic plant life create a water supported community with a wide variety of wildlife. Some of the margins of the creek are fringed by wetlands, and these wetlands support the aquatic food web, provide shelter for wildlife, and stabilize the shore of the streambanks. The plant life associated with the wetland includes rushes, sedges, cattails, duckweed and algae.
