Tollgate, OR 97862(Umatilla County)

Surrounded by Hancock Forest Management land on three sides and by other private and United States Forest Service land on the fourth side, the area is managed primarily for timber production. The tract lies on a relatively gentle west-facing slope above the North Fork of Coyote Creek. The land in this area is a series of low ridges and benches with deep soil and wet meadows. A natural spring provides an elk wallow on the property adding to the wildlife habitat.

In 2017, approximately 1/3 of the timber tract was commercially sanitation logged for pest or disease control, while another 1/3 of the property was thinned for health management. The remaining 1/3 portion of the property has not been logged since just after World War II and currently has a good stand of merchantable timber. In 2021 approximately 1600 Larch and 700 Douglas Fir trees were replanted and continue to grow with a management plan in place.

Mixed conifers on the property include: Grand Fir, Engelmann Spruce, Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine, and Western Larch. The 1950s logging removed most of the Spruce, Douglas Fir, Pine and Larch. The new planting is intended to re-establish the natural balance.
