Forest management did not occur on the Doncaster property until 1973, prior to that the only harvesting of trees was on less than twenty one acres for pulpwood products. In 1973 a thirty- five acre regeneration harvest for pulpwood products was initiated in a stand of mature Virginia pine. Approximately twenty five acres of this first managed sale was replanted with Loblolly pine, using a mechanized woodland machine planter. This twenty five acre plantation was thinned in 2000 for pulpwood products. In the summer of 1974 a forest inventory was completed on the property and a Forest Management Plan was prepared. From 1973 to 1984 286 acres of mature Virginia pine were harvested and reforested with Loblolly pine provided by the State Tree Nursery. In 1984 a second inventory of the forest was completed to monitor growth, establish new forest stands, determine stand volumes and monitor the overall health and forest stand dynamics. In 1992 a new Forest Management Plan was prepared following a third inventory of the forest. The most recent forest inventory was completed in the winter of 2006/2007 for this plan.
