The plantation has consistently been managed using the Mitchell Method a proven, low-maintenance framework developed by Jack Mitchell based on decades of research and observation. His method facilitates easier sequential and selective harvesting through the planting of compatible mixed species in specific spacings. Additionally, the significant number of harvestable native forest timbers could generate further revenue. Previous studies estimated net present value of the timber on the property to be $6.6M in 2022, and $8.9M in 2027.
