Raincloud Tree Farm
Raincloud tree farm has been in the Stewart family for over a century.  It was first homesteaded in 1889.  It has been managed by Jon Stewart since 1973 utilizing a series of three carefully developed management plans.  Over the past 63 years, the family has harvested over 2.6 million board feet from the 120 acre parcel. They currently have over 3.3 million board feet of timber growing on the tree farm.  It consists of a variety of species including Douglas fir, western red cedar, western hemlock, broadleaf maple and red alder that range from four to 104 years in age. 
 
Relatively level, the tree farm is located on the Aims plateau above the Bull Run Watershed.  It receives approximately 120 inches (or ten feet) of rainfall a year and is drained by two year round fish bearing streams.   There are two family homes and a small log cabin on the property.  They and the tree farm's timber stands are accessed by an all-weather road.  
 
Most importantly, Raincloud is the first small woodland property in the nation to be certified for carbon sequestration payments under California's new cap and trade legislation.  Its owners are currently developing a new management plan in cooperation with the Pinchot Institute and Ecotrust to integrate carbon storage into its long term management objectives.
 
Potluck Lunch
We will enjoy a potluck lunch at Noon. Please bring a generous side dish, salad or dessert to share. OWC will provide pulled pork sandwiches for the main course.
