It is capable <br />of producing 230 board feet of timber per acre from a fully stocked, <br />even-aged stand of 40 year old trees. <br />Some areas of this unit are used for livestock grazing. It <br />provides shelter and forage where access to these areas is available. <br />This unit has a definite recreation potential.
