AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES

There are approximately 12 acres of open ground with most of this area comprised of excellent grassland suitable for grazing or for making hay on. The lower lying field was tiled in the mid-1900s to provide drainage and the shallow drain-fields are still visible functioning.This land would make a great horse farm.

WILDLIFE

Otter Creek is an even mixture of hayfields/pasture and mature wetland forest, coupled with the abundant water supply from the blue-line creek, thus creating the perfect wildlife habitat. The edge effect created between field and forest is the perfect habitat for all the resident wildlife. White tail deer, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, fox and many species of songbirds, owls and raptors make up the resident wildlife population.

The hardwood wetland forest provides the essential nutrient source and produces tons of hard mast including acorns and hickory nuts, and black walnuts. Soft mast includes stag horn sumac, black cherry, tulip poplar seeds, maple seeds, autumn olive berries and blackberries.

A number of Bald Eagles have been spotted up and down the Greenbrier and New Rivers and are a thrill to see with wingspans of 6-7 feet.
