The topography of the forest is shaped by Sable Mountain, a notable peak just south of the land. The forests southern end occupies the upper plateau of Sable Mountain while the majority of the lands remaining terrain slopes steeply to the west to Bartlett Brook. Aesthetically, the forest offers ideal conditions with overstocked stands of mature stems providing for limited understory growth. Bartlett Brook offers a year-round water source which runs slowly in the summer months and swells in the rainy seasons and during snow run-off in the spring. The high elevation plateau provides exceptional views of the valley below and surrounding mountains and offers direct access to the adjoining state-owned Les Newell Wildlife Management Area.

A recent timber inventory reveals a property-wide Capital Timber Value of $139,000. The resource is mostly hardwoods (73%), with the balance held by red spruce and hemlock. Total species composition is dominated by sugar maple 40%, hemlock 20%, yellow birch 17% and red spruce 11%. Average diameter for all products combined is 12.5, with sawlog average at 14.5. Stem quality within the growing stock and sawlog size classes can be considered excellent. Also characteristic of the resource is the high percentage of mature sawlogs in excess of 18 in diameter.

The forests high stocking provides opportunity for active forest management while the softwood component diversifies income flow early in the investment period. The conservation easement allows most sustainable and traditional forestry and agricultural activities; one small, rustic camp; and the restriction of public recreation.
