A timber cruise by Yaquina Forestry
Services was completed in 2011. The
property ranges in elevation from 200± to
1,000± feet, is primarily moderate north-
facing slopes, and is nearly entirely
covered with 33- to 38-year-old western
hemlock, and has lesser amounts of Sitka
spruce, red alder, Douglas-fir and noble
fir. An estimated 42 acres of the property
was harvested in 2011, and has been
replanted with hemlock and spruce.

The Annual Growth Rate for the age class
of timber is projected at 4% to 5%, and
within ten years the total timber volume
could increase almost 50% for a total
of 4.4 million board feet. A copy of the
Cruise Report is in the Supplemental
Information Package.
