This 50 acre predominantly hardwood bush was purchased in 2015 and enrolled in the Ontario Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program lowering property taxes from the 100% Residential Rate down to 25%.  In 2020, a Stand Improvement Thinning was conducted to reduce stocking to optimum levels.  Hardwood stands had Emerald Ash Borer-vulnerable Ash removed, and mixed stands had Hemlock removed to increase the percentage of Sugar Maple.  In 2022, an aerial spray was applied to protect Red Oak trees from Gypsy Moth defoliation.  All logging has been directed by Selection System tree marking, not Diameter Limit Highgrading.  Future commercial harvesting is scheduled for 2030.  $275,00.00
