Mill Brook Forest
Mill Brook Forest is a multiple-use parcel located in the scenic Berkshire foothills,
a few miles north of the Deerfield River in western Massachusetts. The forest terrain ranges from relatively steep in places along the roadside to gradually sloping in the eastern portion. With few exceptions, nearly all of the terrain is operable for forestry activities. A network of trails and former logging roads exists to help navigate the forest for ease of travel, whether for forestry, recreation or seasonal camp access. Soils are generally well-drained with occasional small pockets of wetland. A rocky, central, intermittent brook runs the entire length of the tract. The upper portion of the forest offers the most suitable terrain for potential building, where attractive views of the surrounding ridges are very possible with some tree clearing.

The forest supports an oak, red maple and hemlock species mix common to the region. These three species exist in equal proportions, although the forest is, overall, mostly hardwood. The sawtimber is good to above average with total acceptable growing stock in all stands between 73 and 90%. A 2013 timber inventory reveals a maturing woodlot with the majority of stems in the 14 diameter range and capital timber value of $89,000.
