Not surprising, the trees, shrubs and pasture grasses are highly productive in producing tons and tons of oxygen while at the same time eliminating huge amounts of Carbon Dioxide; Nature's way of reducing our Carbon Footprint. LOCATION The 94 +/- acres is located in the scenic, mountainous region of south-central West Virginia. The surrounding Summers County landscape is part of the southeastern Ridge and Valley Region, a scenic tapestry of elongated hardwood Allegheny & Appalachian mountain ranges. Much of Summers County remains undeveloped and is characterized by its scenic farm valleys, small communities and large expanses of hardwood forest. Charleston is West Virginia's state capitol and is an easy 90 minute drive from the Farley Branch Field and Forest.
