Quail are heard calling among the youngest pines. Wild turkeys are common and whitetail deer are abundant. More than 115 acres of loblolly pines were planted in 2021. These young trees look good and are growing fast. An estimated 113 acres of pines are now about 22 years old. They have been thinned and are well-spaced. More than 15 acres are in a large powerline right-of-way providing readymade shooting lanes and opportunities to improve wildlife plots.
The land extends beyond Mill Creek to take in mature hardwood forest on both sides. Yellow poplar, paw paw, and sweetgum are common along with oak and beech on surrounding slopes. Almost 80 acres of the property are covered with mature hardwoods.
Access across the land is good with more than a mile and a half of woods roads and trails. Soils are mostly sandy clay loam or sandy loam and productive for timber and wildlife openings.
