Hi Nancy & Mark!
My father held the property for about 30 yrs and did nothing but small/light timber harvests (1 or 2 per acre, every 10 years). The last sale (2014) was exclusively white oaks sold to Louisville area barrel coppers.
Like Mark, the property is in southern Indiana (hilly area). It's pretty much old-growth white & red oaks, poplars and some hard maples. I want to continue the usage as agricultural renewable forestry but see the family adding it as a vacation destination. So, I've already spoken to a forester and the county about doing a CAP106 forest management plan to clean up some of the lower value beech trees and any invasive species found. The beech trees are chocking out the re-growth of the oaks and other forest floor plants so it needs some attention/maintenance.
I the time the family's helped the property, I don't think anyone has ever found any morels on it.
