re: Native Habitat Restoration for Wildlife

Just north of Raleigh.

The piece I purchased was part of a family tract. I also signed a lease on the remaining portion of the family property with a first right of refusal to purchase.

The forester has managed the property for many years and is a great guy. He swears that sweet gum and hickory pulp wood brings as much or more than pine. The plan is to kill take all of the sweet gum and hickory when we do the thinning and then whatever else we can at the time. I may do one more thinning after that, but I never plan to clear cut again.

Once we thin, I’ll work on burning the thinned areas the next few years in August/September to make sure to kill all the young trees then burn on a three year rotation after that.
