Red Beaver Part I Buying Land ... walking boundaries, assessing land quality and timber

What happens here

Don an orange safety vest to ensure visibility, especially if the property is frequented by hunters or during hunting season. Begin walking the property lines, actively searching for existing survey markers or any identifiable points. Upon locating a survey stake, use orange spray paint to clearly mark it. Additionally, identify prominent natural features like large rocks near property corners and spray paint them to create durable, easily visible markers.

Goal: Locate and visibly mark the property's boundary corners.
