The abundant hardwood timber resource is a composite of high-quality Appalachian Hardwoods. This beautiful property was last select harvested about 30 years ago. 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 at this time. 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 Turkey Creek Forest has an abundant wildlife population, including turkey, bear, and whitetail deer. The wild population is particularly impressive. The mixture of mature forest and emerging forest, and old farm fields, coupled with an abundant water supply, create the perfect wildlife habitat. The hardwood forest produced tons of acorns, hickory nuts, beechnuts and black walnut. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, squirrels, raccoons, fox and many species of songbirds and raptors make up the resident wildlife population. Turkey Creek both fosters aquatic plant life and creates a water-supported community with a wide variety of wildlife. The plant life associated with the creek area includes rushes, sedges, cattails, duckweed, and algae. It is hard to find a property that has a better mix of wildlife as there has been wildlife management practices in place for many years.
