forestry work. From the Falmouth fire tower one can see for 

 miles and note nothing but dead stubs, bare rock and no ^^fegeta- 

 tion. This condition has got to be stopped and the only way to 

 stop it is to plant and protect from fire. The people of Falmouth 

 are awake to the present condition of their town 8.nd have set aside 

 an area for a town forest, on which were planted a number of trees. 

 There are also a few individuals who have planted trees on their 

 idle land and evidences of this nature prove conclusively tha.t all 

 are awake to the need of forestry in this section of the Cape. 

 Falmouth as well 8.s every other town depends on its scenery as e. 

 drawing card s^nd if they allow this part of their herite.ge to be 

 wasted they cannot hope to hold their position as a mecca for summer 

 visitors. 



In the section of Falmouth near Woods Hole there are a 

 number of different species of hardwoods such as maple, beech, birch, 

 ironwood, catsJpa, oak and ash. These all seem to be growing natur- 

 ally, which gives the section an appearance of a regular arboretum.
