Ponderosa cover
Shade, wind protection, habitat structure, and a defining visual identity for the program.
Private land near Dayton, Washington
Forty-one acres built for stewardship.
Ponderosa pine stands and open hybrid grass and wheat fields create a working landscape regularly used by white-tailed deer, elk, and wild turkey.
Land character
The property sets the program limits.
ROMEO-41 is not a commercial game ranch and does not manage wildlife as inventory. Animals move freely through the property. Field operations must respect seasons, fire conditions, soil and road capacity, neighboring land, and the welfare of both participants and wildlife.
Open fields
Hybrid grass and wheat areas support visibility, wildlife movement, staging, and low-impact stewardship work.
Wildlife movement
White-tailed deer, elk, and wild turkey are observed on the land, but presence varies and creates no guaranteed hunt.
Controlled access
The public website does not publish parcel identifiers, entry points, stand locations, camera coverage, or emergency staging coordinates.
Readiness scope
Access and life safety come before amenities.
The first capital work package will be limited to items required for lawful, insured, and reliable pilot operations. Access-road work, drainage, emergency turnaround, sanitation, weather shelter, potable water, communications, and fire controls must be scoped from current field conditions and qualified estimates.
Legacy figures from the school-project charter remain planning inputs, not approved budgets or contractor commitments. New quantities, quotes, permit determinations, and contingency levels will establish the working cost baseline.
