You Can GET LOST. There's Pasture and Dense Forest, Too
Yes, a number of parcels with windbreak protection, native grasses, and nearby established wildflower beds are available for homesites.
But the forest in the southwest corner of the property is nearby and provides a haven inhabited by forest wildlife. The aerial photo illustrates that it's so dense one can easily feel lost during a walk through the forest. This is quite a different experience from the prairie grass, pasture, and wildflower field trek.
Deer often congregate here, and many birds inhabit this area, including the expanding population of wild turkeys.
But, there's more. Trees not only absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, they are healthful to humans in other ways.
"In laboratory research, visual exposure to settings with trees has produced significant recovery from stress within five minutes, as indicated by changes in blood pressure and muscle tension." -Dr. Roger S. Ulrich Texas A&M University
