42 split acres Maine once forested HARD
Hey, no clue if this is a group that could shed some insight…but as the title suggests, there’s a plot (3 total but all nearly touching) with 42 acres of mixed woods now that was forested hard without much thought probably 10-15yrs ago. It’s in early succession with birch, beech, young white pine…stuff you’d expect. But not a lick of mature hardwood left. It does have older white pines that hug a meadow with a pond dammed by beavers. Otherwise it’s topographically unremarkable. It is surrounded by other plots pretty flush with mature forest. Thoughts on the value of owning such land? Worth picking it up to mindfully caretake into a healthy plot? I’d entertain opening a few acres at this point for a wild field for diversity. MAYBE try to reestablish old wild blueberries(??) thanks!
