A while back, our communities were beseiged with oil and gas company landmen wanting to lease our land for gas and oil exploration.

Bonus offers began around $25 an acre and have now escalated to over $2000 an acre, with royalties passing the 15% mark. A potential financial harvest for property owners.

The initial goal was to get a forum up and running to make networked information available to the residents of our communities, but before long, we began receiving emails and calls from Texas to Maine. It appears that as the value of natural gas and oil has increased, that there is a new rush to find and market these valuable commodities.

Our long term goal is to provide resources and documentation to landowners about what at the moment, appears to be the golden goose. Time will tell what kind of eggs she lays, and we hope to be here to provide the resources to help others make wise decisions.
