The proportion of timbered land to the total area of the 

 town is about 50 per cent. The predominating type is oak and 

 pine, usually in mixed stands. Chestnut exists in pure stands 

 and in mixed stands with oak and pine. Hickory is more 

 common than in the average town, but there are no absolutely 

 pure stands.

 cutting about 250 M board feet per year. He uses mostly pine,
