Timber Land

Timber Land - Lauderdale, Kemper

UNDER CONTRACT: The property consists of approximately 9,056 acres of mostly pine timberland located in
Lauderdale and Kemper County, MS in multiple tracts. The property has been in a timber lease
for the past 54 years (sixty year lease) and has been managed on a thirty year pine rotation
throughout most of the term. The current leaseholder is Weyerhaeuser (WYCO), who will own
and manage the timber until December 2028.
Timber stands have been cut and managed based on a consistent rotation. Once stands have
reached maturity, they have been clear cut and replanted based on the terms of the lease.
Stands are adequately stocked and in overall good condition. WYCO has upheld and exceeded
the terms as set in the lease. Site index ranges from 80-90 with mostly Sweatman and
Smithdale fine sandy loam. Road conditions and access is good.
All timber stands have been delineated using ARCGIS spatial data to estimate acres of each
stand and age . Historical imagery from Google Earth was used to estimate stand age, and
increment bore samples from each stand was obtained via site visit to confirm stand age.
Streamside management zones (SMZ) and hardwood stands make up 27% of the total acreage.
The remaining stands are various age pine plantations.
