YAMOUTH 



A few far-sighted individuals in tiiis town have done 

 some reforestation, Frank Hallowell and M. E. Singleton have 

 underplanted their pitch pine stands with white pine after 

 thinning the pitch pine. The white pine is now growing, at least 

 a foot in height per year and soon it will he necessary to remove 

 the pitch pine entirely. There a.re 1500 acres of idle land which 

 should he planted, Tl:ere were some areas of pitch pine found 

 large enough to he put in the cordwood cla.ss, hut most of the 

 timher growth is in the small diameter class. The summer resicents 

 and townspeople 3.re all interested in forestry end the future of 

 this town can be assured. 



In Yarmouth there are three reforestation lots pla.nted to 

 Scotch pine, red pine and white pine. One of these lots is near 

 Little Sandy Pond and the other t?/o are near the camp grounds. The 

 lot in the vicinity of Little Sandy Pond was planted to red pine and 

 white pine. The red pine which was pla.nted in open area is now 15 

 to 18 feet in height and 5 inches in diameter, while the red pine 

 planted under the brush has just kept alive. The white pine has 

 managed to make its way through the overtopping hardwood and grov/ 

 to considera^ble height. 



The two lots near the camp grounds are in fair condition. 

 One of them on the opposite side of the railroad from the State hirJi- 

 yjc.j was burned over, but is no?/ replanted. The other one on ?/hich 

 Scotch F,nd white pine were planted has been released end a.ppea^rs to 

 be making rapid progress, 



A bad fire burned a large acreage from Llill Pond to 

 Chase Garden Creek. This area is nc// reproducing nothing of value, 

 pitch pine is doing its best to recover, but it should be c.rtlf icial'ly
