FOREST

A professional forester has managed the property for many years. Management goals include timber, wildlife, recreation, and water. About twenty years ago, the forester prepared a timber harvest plan that included thinning the larger trees, allowing the residual trees a chance to become healthier and grow faster. The selective thinning created stands of differing age classes. The predominant timber stand consists of trees aged between 30 and 140 years, with diameters ranging in size of 10 to 30 inches at breast height (dbh).

Overall, the species composition is highly desirable and favors Appalachian hardwood types, consisting primarily of Black Walnut, Sugar Maple, Poplar/Basswood, Red Oak Group, White Oak/Chestnut Oak, Soft Maple, Hickory, Black Cherry, and a host of associated species (Birch, Sourwood, Black Gum, and Beech), enhancing the forests overall appeal and value.

The forest is healthy and there have been no forest fires in recent memory.

The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, wild ginseng, ferns, and cool green mosses.

FOUR SEASON CLIMATE

The New River Gorge area sustains a microclimate more typical of warmer and more southerly latitudes, due partly to the sheltering nature of its valley. Though the river may appear a cool mountain stream, by the time it reaches the gorge it has already traveled more than 300 miles from the summits of the Blue Ridge in North Carolina and has heated over that distance. As its warm microclimate accommodates a longer growing season. Mean annual precipitation in the area is estimated at 37 to 47 inches, mean annual air temperature at 50 to 52 degrees, and its frost-free period at 140 to 170 days.
