Not sure where your located at so here goes. I would take every poplar you have.  I went through a wild fire last year and lost most of my trees.  Calling around here looking for some poplars, Blue Spruce, maple trees and willows.  From what I understand they grow quickly.  As I need to reforest quickly.   8ft poplar was quoted $150 each.  Which would break my wallet.
So I would say you could make money off of growing trees.   As far as taxes go, any money you make the government wants it.

John, I agree with what you say.  As I get older I find that I can't do everything by myself like I use to.  Plus who will inherit it when gone.  It would give me great pleasure to know that who ever gets it would appreciate it as much as i do. I would roll over in my grave if it was turned into condominiums for the rich and privileged.

There was s fast moving wild fire that moved thru my property that killed most of my trees.  Looking to grow something fast that will provide shade and restore privacy ASAP.

When it rains here, yes. I don't ever member dew. Getting Water isn't so bad.  I have a trailer with a 1000 gal tank on it. I purchased 80gallons of water for $0.25. Im putting in a 3000 gallon under  ground cistern and I have a 2500 gallon above ground water tank that I can use when the weather isn't freezing.  Im hoping to find a few like minded people to share this with and work together to become self sufficient.

I have a 20ac on a hillside. Some dirt mostly rock.  Setting up a few home sites for like minded people.  Im 66 and a widower.  Definitely off-grid.  Water has to be brought in as a well would be to deep and the quality poor. Currently Im building my place and hopefully will be finished by winter.  I have a few sites set up on which to build or whatever. Hope to have a second cabin ready this winter.  One I'll rent out the other is mine. If interested drop me a note.
