Wood House Research - Agriculture and Forestry

Forestry

The Wood House Research Farm participates in American Chestnut Foundation BC3 generation growing programs, and our own Chinese and European chestnut cultures (for wild turkeys). We have an extensive White oak (Quesrcus alba) stand, several excellent mature specimens of Swamp White oaks (Quercus bicolor), and developing stands of Paw paws (Asimina triloba). We recently implemented a second project supported by the Appalachian Region Commission exploring tree-growing systems developed in Europe for desert and surface mine reclamation programs. We have horse trails and walking trails through five major
soil groups over a 200 ft. change in altitude from the riparian bottom land.
