timber
The managed woodlots consist of Basswood, Maple, and Oak. A forest management consultant has audited the potential of these woodlots to produce quality timber.
Hardwood pulpwood and Sawlogs have been harvested in 2002 through a managed woodlot program sponsored by Domtar. Other wood cutting on the property for firewood is conducted to remove dead trees and promote a healthy habitat. There is consideration of putting in a future sugar bush facility. There is an annual tree planting program.
