There is a total of 113 acres within this age class, estimated to have 1.7 million board feet. It is projected that within ten years the volume will increase to 2.7 million board feet. The balance of the Tree Farm has 87 acres in the 16 to 25 year-old age class, providing additional harvest income within 20 years, and 98 acres of 6-10 year-old age class.
