REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TOWN FOREST
In considering this matter we are led to inquire, "Why a Town Forest?" Answering this rather comprehensive question we find several reasons why a municipal forest may be desirable. Reforestation is necessary, we all admit. To private owners it fails to appeal, even with the latest tax regulations, because of long-delayed profits, and serious danger of loss by fire. The forestry program of the State, while very large, is not extensive enough for our future welfare. That municipal forests should be suggested to supplement the work of the State and individuals is but natural, and in view of the success of such forests in Europe and in some of our Massachusetts towns, is a very reason- able idea.
While the town forests, adding their small areas to other forest enterprises, are for the general welfare of the country, there are local advantages as well. The first thought of course will be, "Does it pay ?" We are answered by those who know, that it pays well. It's usefulness in gradually forming a sponge-like surface of humus for the conservation of our springs will be unquestioned, and if its location can be ideal, the aesthetic value in an otherwise nearly treeless future would be greater than we can now imagine.
To arrive at any conclusion we must examine our present woodland. We find that approximately one-third of the total area of this town might be classed as forest land of some kind. Perhaps it would be nearer the truth to call much of it brush land.
22
The fact is that pastures are being so swiftly reforested that farmers are almost in despair at the encroachment of birches and poplars with their accompanying underbrush. It may be, though, that the much-despised birch will yet be our main source of firewood.
If our chestnut had lived no forestry problem would be before us; but now we must face the hillsides with their stark skeletons of a passing species, and decide what must be done to replace it.
In all the four thousand acres of our forest area there are less than one hundred acres of merchantable timber, aside from firewood. Here and there an acre or so and some scattering trees near our eastern border, perhaps twenty acres on Rattlesnake Peak, a somewhat larger tract on Mt. Chapin, some small lots in Cedar Swamp and a few sizable trees among the plains growth in the western part of the town-that is about all. In these tracts there is very little pine; the chestnut of course is dead; the hickory is fast succumbing to borers, and much of the ash is in an unhealthful condition. Practically all that remains is the oak, and the hilltop oak suffered severely in the great ice storm.
Nature in most instances is, in her own way, reforest- ing these hillsides-first with brush and briars, then the birches and poplars, and later the hard woods. It is a slow process, but if we prevent fires our watersheds will not need replanting.
Unlike many towns, we have no town farm. If, how- ever, some tract can be improved or better protected by town ownership, and with an ultimate profit above the loss of taxes, then the Town Forest becomes not only possible but practical.
In selecting such a tract many things must be con- sidered. Comparative immunity from fire, which would include visibility, accessibility, and nearness to water and help, is perhaps the most important. The nature and con- dition of the present growth, soils favorable to planting, and location with regard to future marketing, are to be
23
kept in mind; and other things being equal, a place of natural or potential beauty would be preferred. It might be a better investment to secure at a high price a well- located tract with a fair growth started, or a mature growth ready to be cut, than to accept an inaccessible or burned-over or fire-threatened area, covered with under- brush, as a gift.
We would not favor pine alone for a Town Forest; but also several hard woods, which are becoming very scarce and are neglected by most forestry enterprises. It is our thought, that as no one ideal area can be found, it would be well to have several tracts, located in parts of the town where each particular variety of tree desired grows best, or where some small beauty spot should be preserved or some strategetic part of the watershed pro- tected. Most of the pine would have to be planted, but many tracts of hard woods, already of several years' growth, would need little care except protection from fire. One great advantage of separate lots would be less lia- bility of losing the whole investment in case of fire.
If this town decides to establish a Town Forest, as many towns are doing, the State stands ready to advise and aid. in many ways. As an encouragement and exam- ple, five thousand pines will be planted in each town forest by the Massachusetts Forestry Association.
The State Forestry Department will furnish free stock for planting, and the whole project may be placed under the supervision of the State Forester if the town desires.
Towns can legally acquire by gift or purchase, land for reforestation. The decision to establish a Town Forest depends on a two-thirds vote at an annual meeting, if the land must be acquired.
