The 400-Acre Tract was owned by various timber companies since the 1900’s. In the 1940’s a severe forest fire burned most of the tract, which created an excellent regeneration of about 150-Acres of aspen. In winter, when other deciduous trees are mostly dormant, quaking aspens are able to keep producing sugar for energy. Deer seek shade from aspen groves in summer. They also consume bark, leaves, buds, and twigs of quaking aspens throughout the year. Ruffed grouse are especially dependent on quaking aspens for food and nesting habitat. About 106 acres of land includes tree species of red maple, sugar maple, yellow birch and ash, with scattered spruce, fir, and white pine mix. About 25-Acres of land has northern hardwoods. Sugar maple, red maple, hemlock, basswood and yellow birch are the most common trees in Michigan’s northern hardwood forests. The McCallum Creek passes through north western parts of this property – This creates a wetland management area of about 128-Acres consisting of a mix of marsh, and beaver ponds. The largest pond is about 3-Acres in size and about 12 feet deep. The waters of the McCallum creek originate just north east of the property being offered for sale, and then flow westerly for about 4+/- miles and empty into Torch Lake.
