Sealed Bid Sale - April, 9, 2010. The College Hill Tract has about 35 acres of well-stocked 20 year old pine plantation (established 1990) which was first thinned in 2006. The stand now consists of small pine sawtimber and pine pulpwood and is growing towards a second thinning opportunity within the next several years. This pine stand on the tract offers great long-term timber investment potential. A small component of white oak, red oak and sweetgum timber mixed in the stand combined with the approximate 5 acres lying in a transmission line right-of-way offers good wildlife food sources and great spots for hunting opportunities. Kingwood conducted a timber inventory in March of 2010 using a conventional 10 BAF variable radius sampling method, with one point taken on each acre of the property.
