Session A: 6,256± Acres – 64 Tracts in Martin, Lawrence & Orange Counties, IN
- Mostly Upland Hardwoods – Oak, Walnut, Maple, Poplar
- Sawtimber with Well Managed Timber Stands
- Building Sites, Hunting & Recreational Tracts
- Good Access with Most Having Public Road Frontage
HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE SOILS FOR QUALITY HARDWOOD GROWTH!
These properties support mostly upland hardwoods such as white oak, red oak, sugar maple, black walnut, black cherry and yellow poplar with a significant volume of sawtimber. It is currently estimated that the Indiana tracts support approximately 28,000,000 Bd/Ft. of sawtimber. The timber has been well managed with an overall management goal of producing quality sawlogs. Timber harvesting has been performed for the most part by company crews employing a selective system of harvesting. Trees selected for removal included not only stems that have reached maturity, but also trees of poor quality and less desirable species, therefore, improving the overall quality of the growing stock. Access is generally good with many tracts having frontage on public roads. Several properties have shared boundaries with the Hoosier National Forest.
