I'm going to miss this property!

    What kind of trees are the big ones?

    Eastern Hemlock, which are some of my favorite trees. They don't have much monetary value, but they sure are pretty. Any timber harvests that I do, I always leave all of the hemlock because the aesthetics outweigh the $8 to $10 per cord that the sawmills will pay for it.

    Tsuga canadensis (Eastern Hemlock or Canadian Hemlock; Canadian French Pruche du Canada), is a coniferous tree native to eastern North America. It ranges from northeastern Minnesota eastward through southern Quebec to Nova Scotia, and south in the Appalachian Mountains to northern Georgia and Alabama. Scattered outlier populations occur in several areas east and west of the Appalachians.
    It grows well in shade and is very long lived with the oldest recorded specimen being at least 554 years old.[4] The species is currently under serious threat of extinction across much of the eastern portion of its range due to a sap-sucking insect, the hemlock woolly adelgid, which was introduced from Asia and is capable of killing large trees within one to two years. Before its introduction, the eastern hemlock was a dominant component of Appalachian forests. It is the state tree of Pennsylvania

    Never too much info! I actually did a report on the hemlock woolly adelgid in school.
