Timber Resource

The Dudleyville Tracts have been well-managed for timber and wildlife. Each tract contains mature loblolly pine stands that are financially ready for harvest, and it is recommended that the tracts be replanted to maintain long-term productivity if timber income is the primary objective. Alternatively, for landowners who prioritize wildlife habitat or aesthetics, thinning combined with a prescribed burning cycle every 2-3 years is advised. These treatments enhance habitat quality by opening the canopy, improving forage, reducing wildfire risk, and clearing residual debris.

Additionally, each tract contains hardwood bottomlands rich in mast-producing oaks, located along creek corridors. These areas are ecologically valuable, serving as wildlife corridors and food sources, and are best left intact to preserve their environmental benefits. Furthermore, recently planted genetically improved loblolly pine stands are present on several tracts, with management plans that involve future thinning and optional post-thinning treatments, such as fertilization, herbaceous control, and burning, to optimize growth and habitat value.

-Tract 1 features 41 acres of mature loblolly pine ready for harvest, 34 acres of recently planted loblolly pine with high-value timber potential, and 14 acres of hardwood bottomlands.

-Tract 2 features 66 acres of mature loblolly pine that is financially mature and ready for harvest, 9 acres of recently planted loblolly pine with high-value timber potential, and 6 acres of hardwood bottomlands.
