Forestry Work in National Historical Park 2008
July 9, 2008 · Source: National Park Service
Woodstock, VT – This year’s forestry operations at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park will begin later this month as prescribed in the park’s forest management plan. The 1905 white pine plantation will be thinned by removing unhealthy and less vigorous trees, leaving the largest and healthiest to grow. This stand has been thinned in every decade since the 1950s. Thinning will help to preserve this historic plantation, representative of the evolution of forest management at the park.
