| Farmton Tree Farm is a 59,000 acre silviculture operation situated in both Volusia and Brevard counties in east central Florida. It was accumulated by the Deering Family of Chicago in the 1920s and benefits from their careful stewardship of the land for over 80 years.
Today, Farmton includes timbering operations using best management practices, a mitigation bank restoring thousands of acres of wetlands, and quality wildlife management. Also, with the assistance of Farmton, the rails to trails project will run through the property.
As the face of east central Florida continues to change along with the economics of silviculture, the owners of Farmton continue to review alternatives that will enhance the value of the land and its resources in a responsible and environmentally sensitive way. |
