EASTHAM 



Tile forest a.rea of Ea.stliam is very small, a great 

 proportion of the town being farm land, besides being yrell cut up 

 by water and crossed by streems. The largest type is pitch pine, 

 covering over one-lie If the c rea irith the usual scrub oak a.nd sm8.ll 

 areas of valuable oak. There are 500 or 600 acres of plantable 

 land. In p.ddition to planting this waste land, considerable under- 

 pla.nting of the pitch pine areas will help to forvTxd forestry in 

 Eastham. 



Near Ea.stham Centre there is a plantation of v^hite 

 pine v/hich was planted a number of years a.go. This white pine is 

 now badly wind-blown and so badly flattened out that it will never 

 be able to recover.
