REPORT OF THE REPORT OF THE TOWN FOREST
To the Citizens of Scituate:
Work in our Town Forests concised of cleaning out all undergrowth and thinning out all weed trees, leaving all hard wood and white pine.
The forest at Mann Lot Road is in very good condition. It will not be neces- sary to do any more planting, the area has come in to natural growth of pine, maple, and oak.
The committee would like the town's people to visit both of the forests more frequently. We believe you will find it very interesting and enjoyable.
In the Pinson Hill Forest, there is a beautiful place for a day's recreation and camping.
There is an open fireplace for out-of-door cooking, it being one of the highest points in Scituate giving a beautiful lookout to all parts of the town.
Yours respectfully,
MARY CRESSY, EMMA LITCHFIELD, WILLIAM F. FORD, Town Forest Committee.
