While many of the forested acres surrounding the sanctuary have been heavily harvested in recent years, the Hawk Mountain project is a model of a well-stocked mature Pennsylvania forest. Today, the timber resource on the property has substantial value. Despite economic pressures to harvest, Hawk Mountain ownership has established a carbon project on the property, limiting harvesting and ensuring a high forest stocking for years to come. The project is a part of Working Woodlands, a program designed by Bluesource and The Nature Conservancy to encourage conservation on forested lands by providing access to the carbon market.
