++ This weeding and cleaning released the white pine seedlings and saplings planted in the areas of Stand 76 that were site prepped before reforestation.
+*++ This precommercial thinning involves the felling of poor quality mixed hardwood and pitch pine saplings and poles that are directly interfering with the upward development of naturally occurring white pine saplings and poles. The dropped material is too small to have commercial value.
Remarks:
Although the current deed is dated 1999, the property has been under active forest management since 197 when approximately 500 acres off State Road were burned in a forest fire. The Plymouth County service forester enrolled the property into Chapter 61 at that time. 193.5 acres of Stands 19, 75, 76, 80, 83, 84, 112, 114, and 129 - 134, the areas burned in 1977, were planted with white pine from 1977 through 1992. 196.5 acres of Stands 5 and 19 were planted with white pine in the understory from 1983 through 1992. 5 acres of Stand 86 were planted with Christmas trees from 1986 through 1987. Several small reforestation projects in the late 1970's included red pine and ponderosa pine. The red pines in Stands 76, 85, and 97 have done very well while the ponderosa pine planted in Stands 19 and 135 did not survive. An experimental interplanting of white pine seedlings and hybrid poplar cuttings was carried out on approximately 8 acres of Stand 2 in 1984. Christmas trees were planted on several acres of Stand 32 in 1985 and 1986. 70 acres of Stand 5 were precommercially thinned from 1981 through 1988. This involved the killing on the stump of those poor quality hardwoods and pitch pines that were directly competing with the planted and naturally occurring white pine seedlings, saplings, and poles. Stands 45, 46, 47, 51, and 54 were commercially thinned from 1983 through 1992. 235 cords of firewood were commercially thinned from approximately 55 acres grossing $ 3,245.00. An individual selection harvest and salvage carried out in 1980 on approximately 60 acres of Stands 72, 79, 101 - 105, and 117 - 124 generated 190, 125 board feet of white pine sawtimber which grossed S
%i 8,306.00. The better formed white pine poles present in approximately 25 acres of the harvested stands were pruned from 1982
-igh 1984. In addition to the above work, close to 11 miles of fire roads have been constructed, improved, and maintained since Efiforts have been ongoing the past several years to control the unauthorized use of the property by ORVs, (off-road-vehides),
are severely damaging many of the fire roads.

FORESTMANAGEMENT PLAN IIJSTOR Y(continued)
Approximately 500 white pine seedlings have been planted per acre throughout this property. It should be noted that the survival of the planted white pines over the years has varied considerably. Vegetative competition, weather conditions, and deer browse have all affected the survivability of the seedlings. Timely completion of the weeding and cleaning has certainly enabled the surviving white pines to flourish. The site preparation work started in 1991 dramatically improved the survivability of the seedlings. The use of slow-release fertilizer tablets at the time of planting in the site prepped areas has also noticeably improved the growing conditions of the white pines.

Property Overview, Regional Significance, and Management Summary The Entergy Lot lies in the northeast comer of the town of Plymouth in east central Plymouth County right on Cape Cod Bay. The property lies approximately 4.6 miles southeast of the commercial center of downtown Plymouth and 2.1 miles northwest of Manomet Center. Although there are several densely populated, older residential neighborhoods in the area along Rocky Hill Road and White Horse Road and several new subdivisions on the Manomet side of the property, it is fairly rural in the immediate area of the Entergy Lot. However, many areas in Plymouth are experiencing the difficult transtion from rural to suburban residential Cranberry production dominates the agricultural endeavors remaining in the area, although there a number horse farms in the immediate area as well.
Plymouth, along with much of southeastern Massachusetts, is currently experiencing intensive development pressure now that the commuter rail lines into Lakeville and Kingston, which reopened in 1996, have proven to be desirable alternatives for Boston area commuters. At the same time, Cape Cod traffic problems have forced vacationers and second-home buyers to consider the areas north and west of the Cape Cod Canal as viable alternatives. Capitalizing on this interest, a local cranberry company is working on plans to develop as much as 10,000 acres of its land in Plymouth, Carver, and Wareham. This development potential, if allowed to move forward, would forever change the landscape and character of the surrounding region.
The town of Plymouth has an improving record of acquiring land for permanent protection.
There are currently several thousand acres of town owned protected land. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts owns several significant properties in and adjacent to Plymouth including Myles Standish State Porest, which totals more than 12,000 acres in Plymouth and Carver. Several nonprofit, land protection organizations including the Wildlands Trust of Southeastern Massachusetts, the Nature Conservancy, and the Trustees of Reservations either own or are slowly acquiring significant parcels of land throughout Plymouth and the surrounding region.
The 1,530 plus acres of the Entergy Lot offer a partial representation of what much of the Plymouth landscape was once and continues to be in areas. The property straddles the north end of the Pine Hills, a rugged topographic feature in this part of Plymouth. The sandy to fairly rocky, well drained, flat to steeply sloped terrain generally supports a typical i of pitch pine and mixed oak saplings and poles with a slowly recovering component of white pine that is the result of repeated forest fires in the past. There are a number of relatively pure oak stands present on the property as well as just a few wetland areas, which support primarily red maple poles and sawlogs.
The past agricultural use of much of this property is evident in a few areas. Several stonewalls, some of which mark portions of the boundaries, are present indicating the land was cleared at some point in its past. There are also several abandoned fields at varying points in the slow transition to young forest. There are a number of large surface stones with drill holes, evidence of past stone cutting efforts when the land was clear.

Property Overview, Regional Significance, and Management Summary (Continued)
Forest health appears to be good, although pockets through the property have suffered from repeated gypsy moth defoliations during the past several years. An outbreak of goudy oak gall also bears watching as it is leading to mortality in some of the oaks. The property is responding well to its past management attention. More than 380 acres have been planted with white pines from 1977 through 2000 with varying degrees of success. An additional 135 acres were planted with white pine from 1991 through 1999 in areas that had been prepared prior to planting. The white pine has flourished in these areas, especially where follow-up thinning has been carried out. The two harvests on the property have resulted in exceptional natural regeneration of the white pine. The thinning efforts have lso greatly enhanced both the planted and the naturally occurring white pine saplings and poles. While habitat diversity is good, primarily favoring interior dwelling birds and aninals, the sheer size of this property provides a superb area for many birds and animals. The seasonal wetlands, although minimal on this property, provide excellent habitat for both resident and migratory birds and animals. The abandoned fields provide desirable habitat for those birds and animals that prefer early successional forest conditions.
There are a number of areas of concern throughout the property, especially in and around the abandoned fields, where non-native invasive plant species, such as multiflora rose, bittersweet, and honeysuckle have become very entrenched and spread to the adjoining forest stands. Although the fruits and berries are eaten by many species of birds, these are not important sources of food for wildlife. At the same time, they are extremdy destructive to the existing native vegetation by literally
( )
choking out the competition.
The unauthorized use of off-road-vehicles (ORVs) on and through this property is its greatest threat. Many of the access roads are in danger of becoming impassable due to erosion caused by the tires of the ORVs. Not only the ORVs abusing the existing roads, there appears to be a developing trend to 'bushwhack' through the property, which is resulting in damage to many of the younger trees.
This Forest Management Plan seeks to describe the current conditions of the Entergy Lot and recommend various actions to further enhance the vigor, productivity, aesthetics, and biological diversity of this property. The plan identifies the various forest stands based on tree species composition and age. Each stand isdescribed in detail as far as the dominant vegetation is concerned.
Past history, soils and topography, general wildlife notes, and brief management recommendations are also included for each stand description as well as the results of the inventory work undertaken during the preparation of the management plan.
A separate section in this plali describes the various practices that can be considered to improve and enhance the property for tree and forest vigor, aesthetics, and for wildlife habitat maintenance and protection. In addition to working with the Environmental Police to control the ORV use, the growing conditions of the exceptional component of naturally occurring and planted white pine saplings and poles that have flourished over the past few years will continue to be enhanced. This will be achieved by removing those shrubs and small, poorly formed hardwoods that are directly interfering with the upward growth and development of the white pine saplings. In a few 0

( (Continued) cases, the hardwoods to be removed may be large enough to have commercial value as firewood. By the end of the ten year management period, there should be another opportunity to carry out an individual selection harvest of white pine and limited oaks. These activities will also serve to create more structural diversity through the property, which is invaluable in terms of attracting wildlife to the area. At the same time, efforts will be made to favor many trees and areas for their wildlife and/or aesthetic value.
In addition to addressing the interior upland forest, the plan's management recommendations will address the periodic mowing of the abandoned fields in the Entergy Lot. The early successional forest these areas represent is quickly disappearing from the New England landscape as fields that were once actively farmed have now either grown into young forests or have been developed. Many species of wildlife such as bluebirds, sparrows, brown thrashers, mockingbirds, kestrels, voles, moles, mice, rabbits, and foxes are dependent on this type of habitat.

White spruce and black locust seedlings were planted in this stand in 1991 and an additional 300 white spruce and Colorado blue spruce seedlings were planted in 1993. Survival has been poor due to the harsh site conditions.
This stand provides excellent abandoned field habitat for the wildlife in the area. The desired future condition of this stand is essentially the same as it iscurrently. It will be prudent to carry out periodic mowing of the sparser openings to maintain this very valuable habitat. Efforts should be made to minimize the presence of the non-native, invasive shrub species such as the, multiflora rose, bittersweet, and honeysuckle. Although the fruits and berries are eaten by several species of birds, these are not an important source of food for wildlife.

This stand provides excellent abandoned field habitat for the wildlife in the area. The desired future condition of this stand is essentially the same as it is currently. It will be prudent to carry out periodic mowing of the sparser openings to maintain this very valuable habitat. Efforts should be made to minimize the presence of the non-native, invasive shrub species such as the honeysuckle. Although the fruits and berries are eaten by several species of birds, these are not an important source of food for wildlife. At the same time, they are a threat to the existing native vegetation by choking out the competition.

This stand was planted with white pine seedlings from 1981 through 1987. Survival has varied due to weather conditions, vegetative competition, and deer damage and the overall success of the white pine has been fair to excellent. The surviving white pines were initially released from their competition from 1988 through 1994.
There are portions of the standthat will be read for follow-up precommercial thining during the course of this ten year management period. This thinning should serve as the final release of the desired white pine saplings from the competition of the pitch pines and mixed oaks.

The value of the white pine in this stand isbased both on its aesthetic appeal and its long term commercial importance CH61 147 PP 5.62 3.2' 52 8.0 cds 50 (WP)
Pitch pine isthe primary species being in the sapling class. Infrequent mixed oak saplings and poles are also present in this recently burned and partially planted, adequately stocked stand as well as very infrequent white pine and red maple saplings and poles. The understory islight o moderate and includes huckleberry, lowbush blueberry, sweet fern, mixed oak stump sprouts, ferns, grasses, and occasional planted white pine saplings. The area isa flat to steeply sloped, dry upland ridge with excessively drained soils (Carver).
This stand was burned in aMarch 2000 forest fire and was planted shortly thereafter.
Due to the higher management priorities of other stands throughout this property, improvement work isnot recommended at this ETIVE CODE: CH61 - stands classified under CH6I/61A STEW - stands not classified under CH61/61A

In addition, several of the stands are either too small, too remote, or too difficult to operate. In any case, these stands do not warrant management attention at this point in their development. All or portions of Stands 9, 24, 38, 42, 43, 48, 57, and 66 tend to be seasonally wet and rate a very low priority in terms of forest management. Leaving these stands and the various habitats they represent relatively undisturbed over a ten year period is an excellent means of attracting various bird and animal species which use these areas for feeding, breeding, and nesting.

STD TYPE SILVICULTURAL PRESCRIPTION AC TO BE REMOVED TIMING NO BA/AC TOT VOL I CH61 148 PP precommercial thin 1 NA NA by fall 2012 The precommercial thinning recommended for the above stands is designed to improve the growing conditions of the naturally occurring and planted white pine saplings and poles that are beginning to flourish throughout much of this property. Those shrubs and poor quality mixed oak and pitch pine saplings and poles that are in direct competition with the better formed, faster growing white pines will either be killed on the stump or physically removed to allow the white pines to continue to thrive. The material to be removed has virtually no commercial value. This work should be carried out on an annual basis in blocks ranging from 24 to 34 acres in area beginning no later than the fall of 2003.
The precommeial thinning recommended for Stands 10,37, and 40 is designed to improve the growing conditions of the easter red cedar and the better formed hardwoods. This will be achieved by removing the competing, poor quality trees. Efforts must also be rude at the same time to reduce the amount of bittersweet in the stands. This nonnative invasive is effectively overwhelming these stands to the point where many of the trees are dying. Although the eastern red cedar is an early successional tree species, its survival and development can be greatly enhanced by reducing the competition within the stand and by minimizing the shading. Maintaining the cedar stands is important for several reasons. Relatively pure stands of eastern red cedar are somewhat unusual and unique. A cedar stand isordinarily a temporary phase in forest development with the cedars gradually giving way to faster growing, shade tolerant hardwoods. Precommercial thinning can help to maintain this interesting successional stage. The cedars are also quite valuable for the food they provide to birds in the form of the cedar seeds. Thirdly, eastern red
{odar does serve as an excellent fence material. The cedars selected for removal to favor the better quality and healthier trees may A i .useful or valuable as fence posts. It may be necessary to investigate the local markets for this material.
It will be important to monitor the development of the white pine in Stands 74, 81, 107, 118, 119, 121, 125, 126, 128, 141, 147, and 148 over the course of the ten year management period. Although these stands have been treated within the past ten years, the growth of the white pine is such that it may be necessary to carry out limited release work to enable the white pines to continue their exceptional growth.

This will be achieved by removing selected white pine and mixed oak sawlogs, thereby creating openings in the canopy and improving the spacings between the trees in the residual stands. This management recommendation will help to enhance and maintain a vigorous and productive, aesthetically appealing all ages stand. The harvest should be timed to coincide with good white pine cone and/or acorn crops in order to maximize the opportunity for the natural regeneration of the desired species.
The improvement thinning recommended for the appropriate above stands is an intermediate cut designed to improve the growing conditions of the better formed and faster growing white pine and mixed hardwood saplings, poles, and sawlogs by reducing the overall competition within the stand. This will be achieved by removing the competing, poor quality hardwoods. Good fuelwood utilization. This treatment will help to ensure the continuing development of a vigorous and productive all ages forest.
Efforts will be made to minimie the aesthetic impact of the recommended improvement work. The harvesting should be carried
/,,at only when mnarket interest in either chips or tree length pulp is strong. This will facilitate the selection and removal of poor(
loility and suppressed poles and sawlogs in addition to the commercially valuable white pine and mixed oak sawlogs, further \_
enhancing the aesthetics of the stands. If chipping the slash is not an economically viable option to incorporate into the projects, then the logging and thinning debris will be left to lie as dose to the ground as possible. The creation of several brush piles per acre with some of the slash will enhance the area for wildlife. Many birds and small animals utilize brush piles for roosting, nesting, and feeding. Leaving several cavity trees and dead trees, referred to as snags, per acre will also enhance the area for wildlife. Many species of birds and arnimals utilize these trees for roosting, nesting, and feeding.
It will be important to monitor the development of the white pine in Stands 77, 78, 79, 95, and 98 over the course of the ten year management period. Although most of these stands have been treated within the past ten years, the growth of the white pine is such that it may be necessary to carry out limited release work to enable the white pines to continue their exceptional growth.

The stands are either abandoned fields or periodically mowed areas under the power lines with varying degrees of advanced shrub growth and young trees present. The invasive, nonnative vegetation such as multiflora rose, bittersweet, honeysuckle, autumn olive, and barberry should be eliminated to favor those native species with higher wildlife values such as highbush blueberry, arrowwood, blackberry, and American hazelnut. Periodic mowing or clearing of the open areas within these stands will also help to maintain the diversity of habitats present on this property. Stands such as these offer a variety of plants and insects that are not found in the nearby woodlands. Many birds and animals such as eastern hognose snakes and northern black racers, various hawks, willow flycatchers, bluebirds, cardinals, mockingbirds, brown thrashers, various sparrows, redpolls, goldfinches, moles, least shrews, voles, mice, cottontail rabbits, and red.foxes prefer and use the vegetative species and layers in these abandoned fields for feeding, breeding, and nesting.
The installation of bluebird boxes in the open areas of these stands should be considered. There has been a resurgence of this species in southeastern Massachusetts over the past few years and the nesting boxes have proven to be successful in attracting bluebirds, especially in open and abandoned field settings, which are their desired habitats.
'UNDARIES: The property boundaris will be periodically reblazed and repainted as needed. Reclearing the boundaries will be" (C minimal due to the rampant, unauthorized use of off-road-vehicles (ORVs) on, through, and around the property.
ACCESS: During the course of the ten year management period, the current trail system will be extended, improved, and maintained to facilitate the implementation of the forest management / forest stewardship program and provide increased accessibility for fire protection equipment. On-going efforts with the Environmental Police will be continued to curb the use of ORVs on the property.
